Do U Still Buy Vhs

[MetroStars]

Just asking does any 1 still buy or rent Videos ( VHS) , cos if i want a new movie it has 2 b on DVD or i won't even bother , same goes if iam going 2 rent a movie from Blockbuster, if it's not DVD then it's not worth it...

but pornstar producer Seymore Butts, says that VHS has still got a gud 3 years yet...


but VHS is just seems 2 out of date now,

any 1 feel the same

[HellBoY]

what is VHS

i am just joking, no i dont buy VHS and i dont even buy DVDs anymore (god bless kazaa, BT and MIRC)

VHS was the crap format of movies, still it was the best thing about 2-3 years ago

[Twigboy]

Yeah I hear you,since I got a Dvd player that's the only format I buy.
Wanted to buy some Benny Hill videos a while back but they only had vhs format,so I skipped it.

[shad0w]

VHS will die, a slow and painful death.

I haven't bought a vhs tape in over 3 years now.

[Turd Ferguson]

I'm reluctant to give up my vcr because I still tape lots of stuff off tv. That's the only reason I still have one.

VHS in video stores is dying and it won't be long before they're gone altogether.

[JayHova]

my local videostore still sticks to the vhs <_< Only the blockbusters are available on dvd there.So i hardly go there anymore.After enjoying the high quality images and sound of dvd(and extra&#39;s) I never want to rent or buy vhs again&#33;it&#39;s just not the same.And they get even worse after playing them frequently.

[sharedholder]

I still buy VHS cause are cheap and here in Europe the VHS are still alive.You know how much cost a DVD in EUROPE?Ex:Star Wars Trylogy cost 140 euros ,if i buy the same thing on VHS cost only 60 euros.

[zinc1]

VHS is deffinetly history very soon.I had a collection of over 200 movies which I sold of for a couple of Quid each.Now it&#39;s only DVD&#39;s, in most places the&#39;re very cheap to buy anyway.
The ones I can&#39;t download I buy them if the&#39;re really good.

[ck-uk]

I dont even own vcr anymore.I never watch alot of tv or follow soaps so never needed it for recording so just got rid of it and the films.Besides u can buy home hard-drives and dvd recorders now if i record of t.v.

[MetroStars]

well, out of date or not, even laserdiscs are still big in japan.........

[Gre1]

Nope I don&#39;t even "buy" dvd&#39;s :D :lol:

[BigBank_Hank]

We still have a VCR and have some tapes for it cause my old man doesn&#39;t understand how to work the DVD player.

VCR&#39;s were very popular and almost everyone had one but did anyone invest in a Laser Disc Player? We have one sitting in the corner that never gets used because it was to much damn trouble. I hated that you had to flip the damn disc in the middle of a movie, or change the discs out. We have quite a nice expensive collection of Laser Disc&#39;s that are sitting in a closet. What a waste.

[MetroStars]

i know how u feel, i got a Laser dIsc 4 Xmas ( while a go now ) and after like a while it just turned out 2 b shit, i hated changing the movie half way thro and the price of a laser disc movie was just 2 much...

i ended up selling the piece of shit for half of wot my folks paid 4 it..

[Stonecoldfreak1]

i get VHS sometimes for like older wrestling stuff that was never converted to dvd

[[B][O][T]]

Added a poll :)

I buy DVD&#39;s only.

BOT

[MetroStars]

cool 1 of my threads turned into a poll

[Gooch2k]

I&#39;ve only bought two videos in the last 4 years and that was only &#39;cos they were really cheap in a sale. All the rest have been DVD&#39;s.

Same here for lousy b-series horror and scifi movies... You can&#39;t find them on dvd or on the net&#33; If vhs disappears, a whole part of movie history will disappear too&#33; :(

[Gutter]

well I voted no BUT if it&#39;s a really hard to find movie/out of print type thing I will.
Besides VHS are usually the cheapest now and days

[vegasguy]

Hi,

VCRs are still good to tape your favorite TV show, or a show that you want to watch but you can&#39;t, and you can reuse the tape over and over again.

I have a Panasonic dvd recorder that I bought from Best Buy, (&#036;450), it works like a champ. I record movies off of Showtime and HBO, and also series "Dead Like Me and Free for All" I get blanks DVD-r&#39;s for about .85 cents each.

Just found out my mom, bought a crap-load of movies from a yard sale, (100 vhs, for &#036;50). Most of them I already had dvds for.

VCRs, will be around until dvd recorders and hard drive recorders come down in price (&#036;50 to &#036;150)

[Snee]

If I&#39;m to record something or if something isn&#39;t available on DVD I buy VHS, otherwise I go for DVD, I put more money on DVD&#39;s than I do on food I&#39;m afraid.

[Gemby!]

i only buy vhs is its well cheap in some shops (hmv your great) :D

[MetroStars]

i only ever get video&#39;s from 2nd hand video shops u find sum real gems, ( horror movie gems ) that they wud never even think about converting 2 DVD, but the last time i bought a Video was a long time ago now..

[DarthInsinuate]

I only get DVD&#39;s now because I can&#39;t be bothered to squint at fuzzy, low contrast, slow fast-forwarding, crap-tapes

[Gemby!]

but video&#39;s are antiques&#33;- stick them under a window and they might rust some more &#33;

[sArA]

I only have a dvd on my computer and its in the corner of the room, I have got a 17" monitor and only have dining room chairs nearby. Needless to say I watch the movies I download but not in comfort. I still have a VHS player and my kids and I use it now and then. As I am a fan of Lexx (see avatar) and they are hard to get on any format, I tend to get VHS if I spot em. Also, many of the Lexx downloads are pretty rough quality so I don&#39;t get much choice. <_<

[neevakee]

For the most part i don&#39;t bother with vhs, hell my vcr isnt even hocked up, but for some school related projects i can only find the video on vhs. so it is suffer the vhs or get an F, i will suffer the vhs.
also there are new digital vhs which on the right tv offer a better resolution than dvds, but the seletion of videos are limited and the players alone are about a grand.

[fkdup74]

thats like askin if anyone still has 8 track audio

[gbfan]

VHS was the crap format of movies, still it was the best thing about 2-3 years ago

Did you forget about laser disc? :lol:



thats like askin if anyone still has 8 track audio

More like cassette but you&#39;re on the right track. :lol: Ohh I&#39;m to good today


Anyway FYI Blockbuster already has a date that vhs will be gone from stores :D

[Jay]

its not gonna be anytime soon as many people still only have vcrs

[Keikan]

[The Horror fanatic]
