Ever since the failure of Beta, Sony has been bent on having one of their proprietary formats become the most accepted mainstream format. Honestly, I think Beta should have been more accepted over VHS, it rocked! Unfortunately, the average consumer thought otherwise, and Beta failed. The more recent attempts by Sony are just silly and useless, in my opinion, but Beta was the first (and IMO best) home video recorder on the market (1975 vs. September '76 for VHS).
