The benefits of DVD over VHS were far greater than the benefits of HD
over DVD. Laserdiscs were always a small market, were too big and bulky,
and were around in a market where rental was the norm. Now that people
buy TV series within months of the finale, and movies within a couple
weeks of it leaving the theatre, the benefits of HD are still very
small.
