Never mind that Sean Walton already owns 150 movies on videotape. The movie enthusiast is quickly building a new collection - this time, on DVD. It's been only a month since the Redwood City man invested $170 in a DVD player, and he already owns 25 DVD movies. ``I love the extra stuff they throw in that you don't get on video,'' Walton said, clutching three DVDs on his way out of a movie rental store. Americans are making the DVD player ``the fastest growing consumer electronic product of all time,'' according to the Consumer Electronics Association. In its history of barely five years, DVD players are already on the cusp of penetrating a third of American households - a feat that took the VCR twice as long to achieve. Monthly shipments of DVD players surpassed those of VCRs for the first time in September, and repeated the feat in October as stores stocked up for holiday shoppers. VCRs remain big sellers in other months, however, so yearly sales of DVD players aren't expected to surpass VCRs until 2004. | ||
