Yeah, it would seem that SVHS is going the way of (consumer) Beta. It was a
nice idea, good quality, but costly and NO support in the video rental market.
Plus, I don't think most consumers could tell the difference between SVHS and
regular. Heck, they like the image their single CCD Video camera produces!
(sure beats that old Super 8, though)
Now if SVHS had only been a $50.oo more option (instead of twice the price of a
standard) and Blockbuster had a SVHS section, then things might have been
different.
