OK, until we all have PVR's, I will agree that VHS does have "some" life in it. But I have to say that some of my prerecorded VHS tapes have lost quality over the years - and I am careful to look after them. And these tapes have not had 1000's of plays in that time.

Hehe, gloat over my consumate evilness!!
When recordable DVD players come down in price i will take them more seriously.

There cool if you're an obessive movie geek that likes to hear how a Director set up a certain scene, or listen to the actors talk about something.
er...not that I'm a movie geek or anything.
And I like ordering Region 1 DVDs, packed with goodies and getting them up to 4 months before the UK VHS release of them.
But that's the sort of thing a movie geek would say.

All of which are useless to the majority of people, who don't have dece4nt enough TV's and audio setups to benefit from it.

If I'm in a rush to see something, I'll see it a week or two before it comes out in the cinema.

Firstly, it depends what DVD player you have, and secondly, there are FAR FAR FAR FAR more films available on VHS than on DVD.

I never said it was, but it IS overrated.
