Of All The Movies You've Bought This Year, How Many Are VHS?

[tgpo]

None

[yoda313]

Hello,
Only Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes! The greatest show about movies as far as I'm concerned.

Kevin

P.S. Any other movie/tv show is now DVD for me! Digital is the future and the future is NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Capmaster]

Half (about). I've bought maybe 110 VHS and 125 DVD this last year

[Bodyslide]

0-ZERO, VHS is Dead

[Treebeard]

None

[Hardcoreruss]

Change title to the last six years and the answer is none.

[impmon2]

It's missing an option for "very few" So far this year I've bought only 2 VHS as they weren't out on DVD yet. Will someone please get Yellowbeard and Wizard (Fred Savage) out on DVD??

[gitreel]

None

Put a fork in vhs. It is done.

[Hardcoreruss]

Praise be to Wizard that film rules. I bought that on ntsc about 8 years a go. I am waiting with baited breath for a dvd release. I bought summer school a few months a go. That is another classic 80's but not a patch on Wizard.

CA-LA-FOR-NIA !!!

Wasn't it this old format where films used to come on a black cartridge of some kind? It had this black tape in it... Pah!

Video Home Sex

[Hardcoreruss]

[Hardcoreruss]

Are you kidding? I wouldn't buy a video with low quality picture and sound (and probably the wrong aspect ratio), unless it's something obscure and never released on DVD.

[TheFamilyMan]

None...why bother unless it is some rare title you can't get otherwise...

And not only that, the last few commercial titles I got "new" on VHS had rather crappy quality compared with some of the VHS titles I've gotten earlier. I have a few titles that I own both the commercial VHS and DVD; the DVD quality is stunning when the two are compared (what an absolutely useless statement for around here). I've bought VHS blanks in the last year to replace the scratch tapes we use to record TV shows. I also backup my analog camcorder footage to VHS "just in case".

[Oscar wallace]

Bought a new 4 hour VHS blank tape but not for video to go on it,got my VHS machine set to audio only setting, so up to 8 hours of good HI-FI sound can be recorded, it's in with my HI-FI set up and is not connected to any TV and never will be.

Dude, ever here of MP3??? You can get a cheap mp3 cd player for under $50 US and hook it up to any stereo you want. You can get almost 200 hundered songs on a 700mb disc (more depending on your bitrate).

[Bilal]

i bought a few second hand vhs tapes from a garage sale is that counted

[housepig]

bought a few rare / out-of-print / not on dvd titles on VHS last year, but none so far this year.

[gshelley61]

No VHS for me... rare/no DVD titles I look for a deal on laserdisc.

[redwudz]

I've still got about 100 VHS tapes to convert to DVD, then the VHS deck goes to it's proper place in a yard sale along with the 8 track player.

[lordsmurf]

Only if it's not on DVD or laserdisc (and no future release in sight)

[TheMadHatter]

Only if it's not on DVD or laserdisc (and no future release in sight)

My sentiment exactly!

[sssax2003]

No VHS for me.. Only DVD...

[DVO]

No VHS since 1999. Then I bought a "special edition" thinking it was in widescreen... but no... It was one interview that made it special, WOW!

Hopefully, but I think the General Consumer won't feel comfortable (for some while) buying stuff that doesn't come packaged in/on something physical. Us gear head, we don't mind, and are early adopters, but I think it wont be until our children are The Consumers that video, music, books, magazines etc can be sold (in any significant amount) without a "carrier" (like paper, magnetic tape, CD/DVD, vinyl disc with circular scratches...)
(And then it's on to us - when can we start existing without our physical carriers? )
