The difference is so big that I wonder if you mean that the price of the U-matic version is Lit. 230,000 and of the VHS and Betamax versions Lit. 129,000. How is it? -Juhani

The price quotation is correct, i.e. Lit.230,000 for VHS and Lit. 129,000 for Betamax. I do agree with you that this is a big difference for two types of video cassettes. It could be that in Italy Betamax is the popular type of video cassettes used, if so this could be the reason why Betamax is much cheaper than the VHS version. In Sweden the VHS version is the more popular type used. From: Eng-leong Foo, Stockholm
