I finally got rid of my laserdiscs last year. My player broke years before and all the movies I had, I had blue rays of or could get on streaming. It was hard to justify toting around 20lbs of movies I couldn’t play
Minidiscs were different, they’re a proprietary Sony tech that was huge in Japan but never really took off in the US. That divot is for plain old small CDs.
That doesn’t look very compact. Is there like a mini one??
That’s actually a compact disc compared to the previous laser disc.

There is, actually.

Dang people don’t know about GameCube anymore?
Those are Mini DVDs. Totally different technology.
You’re right though, Mini CDs also exist, but were much rarer.
Minidiscs are why every optical drive had a little divot for the smaller size. I only ever saw 2 disks in 30 years

I ran into about five, not including game cube games.
I think one of them was bionicle related
the ones ive seen were all little driver disks that came with some peripheral
Watch out, mini CD and MiniDisc were two different things!
Yeah, it’s what I was referring to as a joke. Lol
