I'd just like to do a little survey, and see if anyone here who is old enough to remember or know, has ever had a Betamax player when they were younger, or remembers watching any Betamax-format movies?
I remember when Betamax came out, and we went to the Warehouse down the street to rent/buy all our movies. We didn't have a Betamax player... we had VHS, but I remember seeing the Beta tapes right alongside the VHS tapes at the stores. The two formats coexisted for a short while, until VHS eventually won out, although I'm told that Beta was actually a superior product, quality-wise. IDK if that's true or not.
So what of it... any fellow children of the 80's remember seeing or having a Betamax?
