Until 6 months ago I still had a working beta player in my house.

Television still uses Betamax extensively. While the switch over to DVCPro and other digital formats is ongoing, Beta is still a good and reliable source.

Beta should have won the Beta/VHS war, but JVC (who owned VHS) sunk a ton of money into VHS and public ate it up... whereas Sony (who owned Beta) thought incorrectly that quality would triumph.

Bottom line: Beta > VHS.
