My dad will not get rid of his
Betamax player AND Laserdisk player. Both still work and imo the laserdisk is better than dvd for sound quality. He still checks the odd sale for some movies for both as well. Both are in superb working condition as they've not had much actual use. He spent about a grand on each when he bought them, and neither one lasted long.

Am I being thick or is this a contradiction? I've read it 3 times now and it doesn't make sense. I apologise if I'm missing something obvious.

I think he means the popularity of the format didn't last long, the players lasted but the format was replaced.

No contradiction,
you're thick.

Sorry.

You're being thick
but then again, the OP has entirely missed the point of this week's question. So yeah, that.
