Well...its still an odd decision. I seem to remember the toys being shipped with tapes or records. Hasbro had to be really sure they were never going to do anything else with those masters.

People are still doing this?

Recording to tape? Yeah, unless you’re shit.

Is there a benefit over digital?

It depends, but yes.

Also, I’m not summarizing a 20 year debate. If you’re interested there is an impossible amount of stuff to read about.

What was the documentary called? I’ve read a lot of the history, but I always love me a good documentary.
