44431	Avco Cartrivision	<p> </p> <p> </p> <blockquote rel="Vaporman87" style="display: inline-block !important;"><strong>Vaporman87 wrote :</strong> <p><em>Never heard of this format but it sounds very interesting! I bet these things sell for small fortunes these days.</em></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Considering how rare the format is now (with very little Cartrivision 8-tracks left in existence), quite the opposite. Like we're talking you could ironically get a used U-Matic VCR at the Goodwill for much cheaper (as opposed to eBay). Like the video camera peripheral made for the format will run you about 1k +. But then collecting old rare obscure video formats is an expensive hobby and very time consuming (that is if you come across let's say a Sanyo V-Cord (another video 8-track format time forgot about. It was released in the fall of 1974. Just one year before Sony gave the world the 4th (and 1st to be known) format the Betamax) that actually works and tapes that won't malfunction in the VCR). </strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>That and there's a reason you haven't heard of most of what I'm talking about: Usually home video formats prior to Beta (and eventually VHS which was released in Japan in April of 1976 and internationally a little over a year later) were more expensive than a steak and lobster dinner followed by a trip to Chuck E Cheese combined (not that Betamax and VHS were any cheaper new) and usually the video quality wasn't that good</strong></p>	RetroSnob88	Nov 28, 2019
44430	Xfinity commercial with E.T.	<p>BTW, the actor who played the dad was Henry Thomas, who played Elliot in the movie. That makes the ad more special.</p>	Mr Magic	Nov 28, 2019

44426	Peppermint Park (Sesame Street Knock-off from the 1980's)	<p>i would love to see it get the rifftrax treatment :lol:</p>	Benjanime	Nov 28, 2019
44425	Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade	<p>The parade went off without a hitch as far as I could tell. Saw some decent new floats and balloons. Nothing MOTU level epic, but still good.</p>	Vaporman87	Nov 28, 2019
44424	Xfinity commercial with E.T.	<p>Such a great spot. Just perfect... an instant classic.</p>	Vaporman87	Nov 28, 2019
44423	Peppermint Park (Sesame Street Knock-off from the 1980's)	<p>Wow. This sounds like the subject of a humorous mockumentary. </p>	Vaporman87	Nov 28, 2019
