Same, I record TV on VHS. I don’t mind the quality cos downstairs our TV isnt even HD. However saying that. I would still rather watch a film in BluRay rather then VHS.

And some Tapes sell for like 1 cent nowadays.

VHS has crappy picture quality. Some Blu-ray movies are sold for as little as eight dollars.

Agreed

TaoNakamora February 9, 2010 at 3:15 pm

Uhm….the reality is I don’t wanna shell out 20 bucks to buy a 2 hour movie. I still record things off of the TV on VHS, and that is that.

VHS is old news plz quit living in the 80;s and come to reality, the reality is that blue ray won and hd dvd lost

All these people who bought HD-DVD got owned by Toshiba and can now throw their player in the garbage hahahaha. I hope all these suckers who bought too early will learn something from this.
