I'm pretty sure the first vidoe I personally owned was Conan the Barbarian, and that was only because I won it in a competition. Mum and Dad hadn't had the video very long and we rented tapes becasue it was too expensive to BUY them!!.
The first DVD I owned was Gladiator. I had that a full 6 months before we bought the DVD player/system (with hometheatre 5.1 etc),
On a side note I had owned a DTS CD of Alan Parsons Projects album 'On Air" for 18 months before that, but again had not equipment to play it on. until we got the DVD player
Final impetus to purchase the DVD was cost of technology coming down enough to be mainstream not early adopter (marketers will know what I mean) and the release of TOS BSG on DVD.
Husband knew he would lose me to a friends couch for whole weekends if we didn't get the means to view it at home (I even had places booked..)
Cheers,
Lara
