Great Googlimoogli.... they gotta be kidding.......
As a professional tanuki (I'm a Japanese mythological animal, and a good luck charm), I have an alarm clock built into me somewhere. I also look like a stuffed animal. And you thought your life was tough......

When will they release mini cons that look like beer kegs, or at least a mug of some sort that shoots missles... That is what I wish for the most *le sigh* one can dream.

it was an awesome and very ahead of its time machine. i wish they hadn't scrapped that!

p.s. my parents knew people that owned that, and they swore the quality was many times better than vhs.

I've heard from several people that Beta Max was far superior to VHS, but suffered from poor marketing and availability. Just goes to show you... something.

I would have to agree with that, much like the Laserdisc > DVD argument..which I also would have to agree with.
