Revenge of the cassette tapes: Sony HF Series

Wait a minute here, did you just step into a time machine and traveled all the way back to the past? Aren’t we all for cloud computing these days, with no need for MP3 files that are stored on our portable media player or smartphone locally? What about the CD which has been long obsolete, and the industry has definitely seen far brighter days? Well, if you were to roll back the clock further, you would be faced with this thing called cassette tapes. Younger children might not have seen it at all, and they certainly would have not much of an idea as to how a pencil and a cassette tape worked together. Sony takes us through time with the introduction of their latest product, the HF Series cassette tapes.

These Sony HF Series cassette tapes will come in 10, 60, and 90-minute versions, and depending on the length, prices would range from approximately 100 to 230 yen for individual tapes, but you can opt to pick them up in 10-packs. The printed font has been enlarged to a size that probably drops quite an obvious hint – this is not meant for the young. I wonder just what the sales figures would be like…
