VCRs that will last forever

Well, I'll be...I didn't think anyone made VCRs, let alone VCR/DVD combi units, capable of playing Betamax tapes anymore. Where did you find this one? All the combo DVD/VCR systems I've seen will work only with VHS videocassettes.

Not sure if it actually exists or if it's an early April Fool's joke! But I read about such a machine in the back of the latest Sound&Vision magazine and did a search, and found a picture.
