Ya, I think your bang on.
From the JSP perspective DVD had a few things going for it that HD does not.
DVD Pros for JSP
1) The general public already knew that a disc is a much better medium than tape because of the jump to CD's from cassettes. Rewinding, instant access, degradation etc..
2) The difference in sound and video quality was stunning
3) Extra features
4) Smaller footprint
5) any TV set would work
HD Pros for JSP
1) Marginal increase in quality (relative to VHS/DVD) that is imperceptible on most people’s equipment.
