In the Betamax vs. VHS war, SONY did not allow Porn to be on Betamax tapes.
So, since they couldn't put porn on Betamax, they used VHS.
All the porn was sold on VHS, so the man of the house had to go out and buy a VHS player.
This time around SONY is allowing Porn to be on Blu-Ray discs.
The porn industry is supporting Blu-Ray

"In the Betamax vs. VHS war, SONY did not allow Porn to be on Betamax tapes." etc.
That's total BULL, and completely wrong!
A neighborhood friend of mine was the first I knew who bought a "video tape recorder" (in 1980-81). It was a huge Sony Betamax, and he rented dozens of BETA Porn videotapes that were available (along with VHS) in adult video stores at the time.
His favorite "star" at that time was Annette Haven.
Whoever you are that posted the above erroneous info, sorry but I was there and know firsthand.
