I was born in '98 and Β more VHS tapes than most people.Β
Why?
1. They're dirt cheap.
2. They're easy to use.Β
3. Rewinding builds character.Β

OHHHHHHH What a thing. LaserDisc is even rare than that. The only problems with LaserDisc is, we needed to flip the sides and a turtle that appeared on a blank side and said:Β
LaserDisc Turtle Vector by ~Steelpony on deviantART
PROGRAM MATERIAL IS RECORDED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS DISC.

VHS still exists, you can buy them at a dollar store for dirt cheap ($2 for 6-hour tape). I use them because its cheaper than DVD's and easier for storage on a bookcase!

I thought VHS tapes died in 2006. But however, the legacy of VHS tapes still moved on. There are some people out there who have VHS tapes and they still have VHS players or VCRs. Although, if you tried to reinvent your nostalgia with VHS, you can buy like a VHS/DVD player or something like that.Β At least people still use DVDs.

Excellent pic, but I'll take Blu-Ray any day.

I still have them.
Even hunt down the good ones from old video stores.
Still watch Earthworm Jim an The Mask every now an then
My DVD player is also a VHS player, never gonna get rid of it.
If it breaks I think I just might cry, warrantys expired.

i have a lot of these, eg my favourite childchood-times cartoons. and now i'm not able to watch them, because my family decided that the vhs player is useless and threw it away

That stinks
I bet you can get VCRs on the cheap now.

yeah, probably. but now, with dvds and HD technology there is no point of buying one, i guess... ah, c'est la vie

Actually, I think VHS players can play on HDTVs. (If you have a RCA A/V cable which is Yellow, Red and White).

I've never seen it, but I've heard that I should.

I will tell the tale of the VHS to my future children.
Its production may die, but it will live FOREVER IN MY HEART!

You can also tell your future kids the tale of DVDs if the Blu-Ray Disc format is in the middle era (which the DVDs are in right now).

VHS Rules. VHS has a lower quality & I prefer it that way. DVDS ruin the quality. If they don't make more videos, I will scream at them!

It does have a lo-fi charm to it.

It still does in my book.
VHS may be lower image quality, but it can certainly take a beating, be it a three year old with grubby hands or someone who just tosses it aside to get another one.
VHS rules.

This is true. DVDs are none too hardy.

Long live the king! XD
My friend's brother is six and when she tried to watch a VHS with him was really confused. He'd never seen one before and didn't know what it was! Is that sad or what?! ;_;

Thanks!

VHS still has a place in my heart, and on my entertainment centre.

Don't forget floppy disks. I'm gonna miss those more.
(Even though I cherish my USB Port)

Yeah, really. I transported many an essay and term paper to the library with floppies.

fair thee well vhs...i still have two or three of my favorites stashed upstairs waiting for the return of some vhs player somewhere...

You should go snag a VCR while you still can. They're really cheap now.

That's one thing that DVD can't compete with VHS for.

Love this.
I just bought Nautral Born Killers, Session 9 & May for a buck a piece at a Hollywood Video VHS clear-out sale.
Ace.

Ah yeah. At a video store in the area, they set all their VHS movies in bins outside. It's like they're asking for people to steal them.
π: 0 β©: 1
You should steal the bins and leave all the movies there.

And God said let there be cinema. And thus, VHS came into being...and for a time, it was good.
I dig this one, ha, its a neat angle.

I still have da VHS player in good condition .. but the tape itself is already extinct~~

I see some video stores having a clearance of their tapes. You can get movies dirt cheap.

I'm pissed that once you learn a new format standard, a year from then... some new format is out... and that $1,500 you just spent on a DVR/VTR is completely wasted.

That's why I wait till it's almost obsolete to buy mine. I didn't pick up a DVD player until just last year, and it was oly 50 bones, as opposed to the hundreds when it was a newer format.

uhm, it STILL rules my world. I don't have a lot of my favorite films on dvd, but I don't really seem to mind.
I love this photo, it's pretty much perfect.

I'm slowly building a movie library. Slowly. Thanks chum!
