My parents bought me one when i was a kid. I had 2 movies, "Harry & the Henderson's" and "Short Circuit."

I asked someone the other day if they had one and they had no idea what i was talking about.

Yup, had VHS and Betamax way back when.

Sony really fricked up on that one.

Yep. Friend that lived down the street had one, while we had a VHS. It always sucked when I'd spend the night at his house and his mom would take us to the video store to pick out a movie to rent. They always only had about 20 movies in Betamax, but tons of VHS.
