As if a Usenet poster could judge such a thing.

No shit.

There is a lot of lossy conversion taking place. The fault of Ipod
is that they want a subscription fee.

A bit biased.

You are about to make an opinion... I can smell it.

VHS was better as it relates to price/value/performance.
The high price of Sony's crap is what caused it to fail. It is really
that simple. Price point is everything.

Better get started then.

You're an idiot. VHS was not a trap. It was an affordable form
factor. Beta was a high priced, if not even overtly overpriced pile.
Had Sony set the price point right, they would have won the battle.

Oh boy, you're right up on the video realm.
>Don't buy CRAP, and they won't sell it.
No shit. Consumers have always driven the market and survival of a
given product. Look at the example above to see proof.
Don't spew crap, and we won't pick it apart.
