My dad has a bit of a knack for buying new technologies that end up failed. Growing up, we had both LaserDisc and BetaMax. Before DVD replaced VHS, we'd go out and rent a bunch of movies from blockbuster and copy them onto blank Betas. I specifically remember watching Free Willy as my dad was copying it. He still has the video camera that records to Beta.
He also decided that HD DVD was a more worthwhile purchase than Blu-Ray. This was about six months before BR "won" the war.

I just thought of another one: The Zune. I knew I shouldn't have gotten one after my dad did (given his tracked record) but I loved mine. It was a great music player, and I really liked the market. I was sad when it got water damaged :(
