Poll: Do you still own a VHS?

[Cherry Cola]

The good old days, where dinosaurs ruled the land and your History teacher was only 30. There in the heavens, God created the VHS, which would be able to play movies on tapes. It was glorious and awesome.

Cut to a billion years later, and now everyone has DVD-players, or even Blu-ray. But I bet that somewhere in the attic, you have a VHS laying around, waiting to conquer the earth once more.

Well... do you still have it?

 

[Shru1kan]

Oh yeah, still use it. Not as much since we bought the DVD player with the record feature. But still have some old tapes of good movies from when I was little.

 

[Gxas]

In before "What's a VHS?"

Yes, I still have a VCR. I still use it for those old Disney movies that haven't been released on DvD yet.

 

[Random Argument Man]

I have one at home. In fact, all my Starwars stuff is on VHS.

 

[Julianking93]

No.

Just upgraded to Blu Ray.

 

[Aunel]

no, don't want one, and I am beginning to think DVD is obsolete
the machine marches on!

 

[Woodsey]

Got rid ages ago now.

 

[lwm3398]

Oh hell yes. It's fused with a DVD player. I tape shows, and every blue moon I watch an old tape, not just taped shows.

Question is, WHY DON'T THEY HAVE RECORDING DVDS?!

Or do I need a DVR now? *Scoff* Bullshit. I'm not buying something new when my VHS breaks just to record shows.

What the hell is a VHS?

 

[Jiggabyte]

I used VHS a long time into the Heralding of the Doovdé. Hell, I was using floppies until my last computer wasn't built with the appropriate drive (two year ago, that.) Alas, now there's at least one device in every room in the house which plays DVDs as opposed to one room with one VHS (this room has no less than four), new films are no longer on VHS and all the old ones are either online or on DVD for about £4. They ended up taking up a lot of space so all the ones I owned I gave to charity. Now even they don't want them, apparently.
We still have a few boxes of home videos and recordings of things you can't see elsewhere, though. I know there's a copy of Mission Impossible 2 out on the landing somewhere, probably broken.

Anyone miss the hiss of tapes (audio and video)? My cassette of Sexx Laws by Beck seems to sound better than anything in a digital format.

 

[RatRace123]

Yeah I still got mine. I got lots of home movies and old videos, so I can't righfully throw the thing away.

 

[Subzerowings]

We still use vhs' in our house *shame*.
I love rewinding the tapes and dusting out my two vhs'.

 

[historybuff]

Yep, I've still got one in storage for the rare occasions that I've found a VHS.

 

[Shycte]

Of course, how else could I watch my Star Wars Collection?

 

[kanyatta]

Of course. I'm not wealthy enough to have converted my entire movie collection to DVD yet. I'm not even halfway through it and now HD and Blu-Ray are the next big thing. It all seems like a scam to me. I never saw a large enough quality difference between DVD and VHS to warrant the huge switch that took place, but I basically had to because the system won't release on VHS anymore.

 

[Romblen]

I still have one hooked up to my TV, but I can't remember the last time I used it

 

[Cherry Cola]

What the hell is a VHS?

Al right team, move in! Go go go!

I like the video quality that you get from a VHS. It is simply awesome.
