In Reply to: Laser disc isn't a good comparison. It was marketed as a high-quality alternative to VHS posted by Jazz Inmate on August 31, 2007 at 12:18:14:
It shows that even without a competitor, a format may not be acceptd by the masses, especially if its overpriced.
It was however, a successfull niche product.
