I actually remember a salesmen here in Sweden trying to persuade my mom and dad to buy a Video 8 recorder instead of a VHS. They asked when you would be able to rent tapes, and he said soon. In retrospect it looks like they made a good call. Did Video 8 ever try to enter the rental market in...
I knew I should have waited posting this question until the auction closes. :)
British Airways still uses this system for IFE in First Class (with video-walkman).
Are there any sites with lists of which movies were released on Video 8? When did production of prerecorded Video 8 tapes end? Also, were prerecorder Video 8 tapes marketed in Europe? Thanks!
