well, I think it's because dvd's still have some mystique to them. I
know I consciously do the "Is this movie worth owning on DVD?" test when
I'm shopping. Some movies don't deserve to be on dvd (well, that of
course depends on your movie tastes), like Jaws II. LoA is definitely
one.

To note, the first dvd I bought was "Barbarella." The kids who were in
Austin almost a year ago may know why. I refused to make "The Matrix" my
first dvd purchase (simply because it was everybody else's).

A great dvd list (Sorry Martin, ESPN.com cookie-fest coming your way),
and a not bad breakdown on why you'd buy a dvd-version of a movie over
its vhs cousin:
