    They did the same to the BetaMax format, back in the day, so we all got stuck with the shittier VHS format. Fuck these assholes.

      Could you provide the source? I can only see the mismatch in frequencies, which, well, seems like bs

        Beta Max was superior in every way except being cheap to manufacture. It didn’t really go away though, it basically evolved into ADAT used in professional music recording. Or I could be full of shit, but that’s how I remember it.

          Betamax was fine but couldn’t record a full football game in its early format while vhs could. Technology connections has a video about it

          The salient point here is the anti-porn campaign that was launched to undercut the competition. This is the exact same shit, different generation.
