Ah, this is in the neighborhood of what I'm after, thanks. Personal testimonial is good, but what I'm looking for is evidence that a significant number of people are paying up for this experience and continue to do so.
As an example, consider 3D movies and television sets. For a while, many vendors were touting them as the next big thing, and you could find plenty of people who'd talk about well done 3D as an amazing experience. But now it's the rare movie that bothers with 3D, and manufacturers have mostly given up. There just was never the significant consumer enthusiasm that there was around, say, color film and color television.
