Sorry, yes I was calling Smoking Gun's a tart.
Silly people just saying "DVD is obviously better" and not giving any reason, silly.
VHS is tried and tested, in Media class, you don't try editing a DVD on your first lesson..no, everyone has a VHS player, renting them from Blockbuster's is cheaper, they make better weapons than silly DVDs and so on.

The only good things about videos right now is that they're cheaper, and I can watch them in my room (being that I don't have a DVD player in my room)
Other than that, DVDs rule, and I haven't bought a video since we got our DVD player late last year
