DVDs aren't that all expensive. After all you could spend £15 on a DVD film, which has superior sound and picture quality, not to mention filled with extras, or you could spend less money on a VHS tape which has crap picture and sound quality and fades faster as the time moves on.
The only thing I use VHS tapes for now is to tape things off the TV, and given the choice, and the money, I'd get that new DVD recorder.

It was the same for VHS years and years ago though. New is always expensive. Intime, it'll come down in price.

U can’t compare DVD and VHS. DVD is only playback. I know u can now get a recording DVD drive, but only if you have a spare £800. You can't call that affordable. VHS is a cheap recording system (about £80 now). Only when record able DVD gets down around the £200 mark will people consider it over VHS for recording. But this does not take away from the quality issue however. DVD is far better in terms of picture and sound, plus u often get extra's on a disc. It's just an issue of price. Then again, you can now buy a SKY+ hard disc recorder which can record one satellite channel, while u view another satellite channel at the same time for a little over £200. This could yet become the standard way of recording, while DVD is only used for pre-recorded discs.

The posse and I have watched a few DVDs on my mate's laptop. Only trouble is, if you're sat at an angle from the screen, you can barely make anything out (people with laptops will know what I mean)
