RE: do you have some numbers?

Yup, everything I have seen shows the adoption (speed of market penetration) of DVD *players* was about the fastest of any consumer good. In the U.S. that is, and since they started keeping statistics (IIRC early B&W TV days).

What always amazes me is how slow CD was adopted. Others here won't be surprised...

As far as BD goes, that has been very (s)low in general, so a massive period-over-period growth rate for the last while isn't surprising to me. The price of BDPs is what did it IMO.
