Now does anyone want to buy an 8-track, Beta max, Laser disc player, mini-disk or DAT recorder?

Mini Disc on the other hand was a complete folly.

Did anybody buy an HD DVD player?
Shops were still selling both last week - that's going to be a big hit for all the stores with stocks of HD DVD!!

Only reason it didnt take off was because sony could make more money on CDs
MD was just superior in every way!

Are you serious? I can only imagine the huge revenues that the industry would generate.
Personally, I don't see why anyone would want to watch it in hi-def.  A little bit of visual discrepancy is probably for the best.  |

Beta is not used today. The "Betacam" analog pro video format is not related to the "Betamax" home video format.
Also, MiniDisc was and is a fantastic recording format. A niche format, but a great one nonetheless. |

Actually, porn chicks are ridiculously hot now, unless you buy the $10 movies, LOL.
I think porn is one of the biggest money making things in the world since like 2001 or something.
