never underestimate the power of a cheaper price.

Beta was clearly better technology but it lost out because vhs was cheaper.

Check out the video. It's hilarious if you've seen the movie "Downfall of the Third Reich."

One of Beta-Max's shortcomings was that its standard recording length was only 90 minutes, while VHS could record 2 hours of content.
