It may not be that long. Spoke with one of the guys today at Magnolia (BB) and they've been told to push the players. He said they will probably be fire selling the players and the software in early March in his opinion. This is the same guys who told me a few months back, that they would be selling the Yammy 2700 they had on display for $700 as soon as the 1800 arrived. He wasn't lying. They marked it down to 700 and it sold in 2 days. Take this for what it's worth.

But Sony held Beta hardware exclusively as far as I know, nobody else was allowed to make them. Click to expand... Sanyo manufactured Beta recorders as well, they had a top-load unit that was a popular bargain machine, and when Beta hi-fi came out they had a nice frontload unit. IIRC they OEM'd a version of it for Radio Shack, but my memory might be a little hazy. I'm not sure who else had a license to produce Beta video decks, but Sony did license the technology.
