Does anybody think that now is the perfect time for Sony to re-launch Betamax? DVD's are in, and people just have to give up on their VHS, but if they put a thing in the new Betamax players that allow VHS to play, as well as obviously releasing some new Betamax tapes, it could work well!
Your thoughts? |

You seem to forget, also, that Betamax tapes were conveniently smaller than VHS ones. Plus, I'm sure it's not to hard to put all HD stuff onto the tapes.

Plus, with Betamax, you'd lose the interactive menus. Not to mention that tapes are analog, and DVDs are digital, which means they look and sound a lot better on modern home theatre systems than analog tapes. |
