VHS? Does anyone still buy that? (Score 1)

To be honest, I don't think I can say I have ever purchased a VHS cassette. When I decided to buy a player for movies, DVD was starting to gain wide acceptance, though VHS was still strong. I decided to go DVD even though the cost of movies was often much more expensive than the VHS equivalent. I must say that I am quite pleased with the results. The better sound and image quality make up for the price, plus the fact that I really only buy Anime videos. which on DVD. provide many more features like multiple episodes, multiple language tracks and some other extras usually. With the price of DVD players in the $100 to $150 range anyway, if you were looking to get a new video player, why not go DVD anyway. The only downside is of course the hundreds of dollars you might have invested in a VHS movie library and the fact you can't record off of the TV with DVD. Once recordable DVD becomes mainstream (and they have a standard that is set in stone), VHS will be as foriegn to youngsters as the 8-track is to me :)
