For immediate gratificatiion, definitely. Far superior in picture and
first to offer HiFi sound. Which I think shows that the general public
just doesn't care for the finer details of picture and sound, leading to
both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray being a big yawn in the marketplace.

That immediate gratification remark refers to the fact that my Betamax
tapes deteriorated greatly over the years, while my VHS tapes, dating back
26 years now, are still in fine shape. Unrelated to the current DVD scene,
I know, but typical of my experiences with Sony.
