Remember the Beta Vhs battle are we seeing it again with this blueray thing?

Question

Beta was better But the fix was in and choice was taken from us. I think its happening again with the Hddvd abandonment by Manafacturers and retailers

Answer 1

I agree, especially since walmart announced it would only carry blue ray discs now

Answer 2

Beta was Sony's format whereas VHS was JVC's format.  VHS won due to the 6 or 8 hour record time versus the approximate 5 hour time of Beta.

This time is seems Sony learned that lesson and opted for longer record time for Blue Ray versus Toshiba's HD-DVD format.

Answer 3

Yeah its the exact same thing.  And HD dvd just bowed out of the competition.  Thats good news for Sony.  They had a lot riding on that with the PS3.

Answer 4

i agree--but it is also a regular DVD to Blue ray battle too, most are not buying into blueray that quick
