 It's incredibly stupid.  The camera was designed as a toy, but
for some reason thousands of people cant get over the "gee whiz,
I can record video on an AUDIO tape???"   It's a novelty, and nothing
more.  
 
 Some idiot used the pixelvision to make a pathetic documentary a
while back, and it won some kind of award, which was based around
90% on the novelty factor of the terrible video and audio.   I doubt
everyone who is trying to buy one now is trying to emulate that event.
 
 Video tape is just as cheap as audio tape, so that can't be the
reason.  Can anyone give me an ACTUAL reason why you would want
a pixelvision, other than the novelty factor of using an audio tape?

 Guess there's a sucker born every minute.
