Sony's format was Betamax (not VHS). Most everyone else was VHS. Beta, as it became to be called, was generally superior.

Wups, Slynky you are absolutely correct. Sony built Betamax while JVC built VHS.

Just ran a few searches, and I think it was this thread that gave me the dèjá vu. It appears that they're different articles.

*ditzy 90's child mode ON*

*ditzy 90's child mode OFF*

If you are a ditzy 90's child, and the thought of suing me for slander comes into your mind, do yourself a favor. Forget about it, move on, and go beg your daddy to buy you a new DVD. It will make you feel better.
