VHS quality better than betamax, the betamax (if i recall correctly couldnt record either which was a huge feature on the VHS-VCR) and at that time JVC began its own highly effective advertising campaign battling the shit out of sony... sonys only other product at the time was Trinitron tv's so they had to drop the beta format with the quickness and focus on what they felt the public would be more inclined to buy... than there were hardware issues as well... sony made tons of betamax players, however companies werent making tapes... so wound up with an electrical box that really didnt do shit once you watched all five movies released... (i think something similiar happend with laser disc and dvd) Remember when it would take almost two years for movies to come out on vhs??? and even longer on tv... holy moley and the only movie station was WPIX, and the only music television was U68... holy shit remember UHF~!?remember when mtv actually was music televisiona nd played videos???
