Beta was actually a better product
Yes it was. The sonic performance of Betamax was FAR superior to that of VHS.

It's about $11,600.
Actually, it's $11,769.82. So not only are you an a-hole, you're a wrong one.

In 1989 that 5995 is the equivalent of $11000+ in today's money.
I don't think that ad is from 1989.
Looks a lot more like 1979.
ETA - If it is, it would be $20,116 in today's dollars.
If invested earning 8% since 1979, it would be worth $111,658.53

Just used 89 as it was the last year of the 80s, since the 80s were mentioned in the ad. You're probably right on with 79 tho.
