Our pick for the best (and more importantly most relevant to this site) April Fool’s Day joke goes to ThinkGeek hands-down for announcing the launch of their New Betamax to HD-DVD converter.

Did you know that with the introduction of Beta hi-fi audio, the Betamax lost its slim luminance horizontal resolution advantage to VHS? And did you also know that a dual-layer HD DVD holds a maximum of 30 GB of data and a comparable Blu-ray Disc holds a maximum of 50 GB? Mere coincidence? We think not!

Check out the full product description for the Betamax to HD-DVD Converter to see what I mean. Awesome stuff!
