It was not marketed until 1980, and it never gained mass market appeal or penetration. And as for Racerguy's overarching point that the industry didn't know the superior optical format DVD was coming or Jack's point that Laserdisc had "the entire industry behind it", those are both idiotic claims. MCA/Universal was the only studio where laserdisc had any real traction, and electronics companies, with the exception of Pioneer, were lukewarm at best to the format.

Anyone can click wikipedia.com, auph. It doesn't mean you know anything.
