Don't know about the porn angle. If I remember correctly, porn sold for roughly $70 to $80 on either format. I heard the demise of Betamax was the combination of the shorter record time along...

I've got 2 betamax players from the very early days of Beta - both units are in excellent condition (given to me after a friend's brother passed). I see a few units on ebay - any other collector...
