Betamax is to VHS what HD-DVD is to Blu-ray.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Actually, Beta was better technology but VHS has far, far superior marketing and that caused Beta to go out of business.

Except Betamax was better than VHS, HD-DVD wasn't better than Blu-ray.

Not a lot of love here

Just two mates having a bit of banter

The pr0n industry backed VHS. They always determine the winner.

I heard the only reason VHS got up is due to the pr0n industry, because more could be stored on vhs lol

 

[TooFar]

I was like that a year ago.

Betamax? Were you poor? Lol.

Betamax was the higher quality and slightly more expensive solution. It's downfall was that Sony did not want to share the rights with their competitors.

 

[Red Crow]

I meant in terms of a format war in which one lost and the other won. I never had Beta so I wouldn't know quality wise. Though it does surprise me to find out that was the case. Always just assumed VHS was the better one, hence winning out.

What do you mean "were"? Nah the old man was A Scot. After pleading with him for a Commodore 64 for over a year, he lobs up with a Friggen Commodore 16 FFs. I'm the only person I've ever met who has ever actually owned one.

Betamax were all the rage for a year or two before VHS took the world by storm.

Did you actually just ask a question, then correct the person who answered it??

I thought it was pr0n. They only put out pr0n on VHS.

Hahaha. The pr0n industry will singlehandedly guarantee that VR will take off.

If the person simply said - Beta I would have known what they were talking about. I didn't associated Betamax as the same thing.

There actually is, Gunna is still good mates with all the guys over here in Adelaide. He's not a bad bloke, he just didn't like playing out at Centrals!

3 days before the biggest game we've played in 3 years, and potentially the last time our superstar midfielder walks out with our team....and we're discussing the merits of Beta and what could've been.

Have we all gone completely mad!!!

I remember watching 9 and 1/2 weeks as a 10 year old as I thought it was about people and what they do over a couple of months. Must say that spelled the end of our Akai VHS recorder. My father certainly wasn't impressed [emoji15] I was just an innocent kid watching a movie.

I agree. I always wondered what Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke were doing while she was holding that ice-cream.

It's funny because we had a Beta and a VHS, yet all of my Dad's pr0n was on Beta.
