It starts in Japan... about $1500. CHEAP.

Lemme think about that.

$0. You'd have to pay me to take one. I long ago replaced all my VHS tapes, save for one I need to port over to DVD (a scuba diving trip). VHS is a dead tech for all intents and purposes.

Besides, if I brought one more new box to plug in into the house, the bf would kill me.

I can understand production houses, who must have archives of vhs library... but even THEY use computers to digitally convert them tapes!

I wanna know how that marketing GENIUS sold that CRAPPIDEA.

Also: For $1500... you can have a PAIR of blu-ray burner computer rig, that will do MORE THAN convert JAV IDOL TAPES! Oh great, I've said too much.

No this would be useless to me.

I only buy formats that Sony has a large share in.

If it was a Blu-ray/Betamax player I would buy it.

I never bought into DVD. I call it DUD.

0$ You'd have to pay me $500 to waste my cabinet space with it.

Rangoon. You have to be kidding. You only buy Sony products? Uughh! Must be a special subliminal message Sony sends out that only affects a certain percentage of people worldwide to become their slaves.
