Sony to stop making Betamax video tapes in March 2016.
That's what the headline reads on this Web article: Sony is finally killing its ancient Betamax format - Nov. 10, 2015
Wow! They are talking about the video tape or the media, and not the recorder. I did not know you can still buy blank Betamax tapes. And when did Sony stop making recorders? Are there any still in use? This is mind boggling.
Just now, I checked on eBay and saw that one can still buy 8" floppy media, but I bet they are NOS (new old stock). But a factory that still makes new Betamax tapes? No comprende!
