HD War is over. Disney wins

Well, for me DVD was much more of a revolution than VHS. In my 12 years of owning my own VCR I only ever recorded a TV show and actually watched it twice. I never owned a movie on VHS.

But something about DVD clicked with me. I was a very early adopter and had an ownership mentality.

TIVO still holds minimal interest to me because I have no interest in timeshifting the shows I watch (if I miss them, I miss them, someday maybe I'll watch on DVD). My computer had built in DVR capability (HD even) but after some initial curiosity I didn't even bother to plug cable into it after we moved so that sits unused (and now I could even plug the computer into my TV and watch it all on the big screen).

So, for me the home entertainment revolution really was DVD.
