I remember Buying the Die Hard Trilogy for like 150.00 bucks at Suncoast (right before, or during the Launch of DVD ) ... Because I just had to have them. ... I like my DVD's,.. & the Quality of the Movies... as well as picking something up for under 20 bucks a Pop. With VHS,.. not everything ever came out on them right outta the Theaters,.. & you had to order them & pay like 85 bucks for a Movie. The Only 3 things I watch on VHS any More is the Spider-man 90's series ( the Boy & I have a Bunch of them) , G.I.JOE The Movie, & Porn.

oh I remember the days of walking into Jafco and seeing movies for $25 and $30 each on VHS oh how I'm going to miss them :(

check out my outdated wonder woman set ... now with VHS really gone for good ... these now count as retro

I still have several boxes full of tapes that I have to transfer to DVD whenever I get the time to do so. There are still tons of obscure titles on VHS that have never been released on DVD.

[HardyGirl]

Yeah, I'll be stocking up. And when the stores don't sell them anymore, where there's Ebay, there's hope.

I threw out my VHS collection years ago...they practically took my entire closet...I don't miss them one bit.

If you still have things to record and rerecord and still have a vcr, stock up. The new ones will last another 20 years.

Well, some of them will.
Some of the newer VCRs are just junk though.
After a year or two they just don't work anymore.

Not like the ones we bought years ago that were actually made to last.

That's true. I still have two VCR's that i still use....and I've been stocking up on tapes. I just figured out how to transfer my Dvr recordings on to tape. So my Dad who just won't upgrade can at least enjoy stuff.

I never liked how electronics get forced on you and they make it so you are forced to buy things.......I just want to watch a movie not live it.

I'll miss VHS until they make DVD's easily rerecordable --- which doesn't sound like it's going to happen any time soon -- or perhaps never.

VHS was a great format ..... nobody had to be a computer wiz to watch and record their fav shows

[toys2cool]

I guess I'll kind of miss it,for sentimental stuff.But I love my DVD's

Distribution Video Audio of Palm Harbor, Fla. -- the last major supplier of VHS tapes -- shipped the last of its salable stock.
