Also, the p**n industry adopted VHS as their format. That sold millions of players and tapes over night.

Runcos were awesome as long as you didn't have a problem. But once you had a problem, no chance that they would cover the warranty. ****.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Fins is the winner!
The p**n industry sank beta!

Laser discs and big 3 gun projectors were the audio/videophile choice for decades.
I had a Runco

the same reason the mini disk player, the memory stick, and so many other Sony products failed. Because Sony wouldn't open up the technology to let others manufacturer it. They finally learned when they developed the bluRay disc. Also, the p**n industry adopted VHS as their format. That sold millions of players and tapes over night.

Actually blimey, the first laserdisc was released in 1978 (Jaws) and the last was made in 2001. Laserdisc was around for a long time, but it didn't ever take off as main stream because of cost, and the fact that you had to flip the disc in the middle of the movie.

I believe all of clint's spaghetti westerns were rip offs of classic Japanese samurai movies. So was Magnificent Seven.
