When was the last time you used a VCR?

[White Lightning]

Oh man... I don't even know if I own one anymore lol

 

[Charli]

Haven't even SEEN one since I was 12, my dad was extremely quick on the DVD uptake.

 

[O maestre]

I was thinking about this the other day after finding an old tape and realized I haven't used a vcr in 5 years. How about you?

dammit OP the nerve of you, reminding other people of how old they are.... i suppose its been at least ten years... sigh this reminds of the time i saw a little girl and her mother shopping at a pawn shop. the igrl spotted the cassettes and asked "what are those boxes for?"

Not had a VCR in my house since around 2004, stopped using them a couple of years before that. I swapped over to DVD and HDD TV recorders. My DVD and Blu-ray players have sat idle for a good amount of time to because I have been using on demand cable services and more recently Netflix.

Between the two I get to see anything that would come via disk so I stopped buying/renting disks about 18 months ago.

About a month ago, I helped my siblings get the old VCR working so we could watch Back to the Future. (Good movie, btw)

 

[The Night Angel]

Used one a couple of weeks back, I found my old 'Blues Brothers' tape and just had to root around in the attic for the VCR to watch it. That movie was my childhood

I can't even remember the last time I used a VCR.

 

[One of Many]

I used a vcr, yesterday. I was at home and it was requested of me to tape a shoe for my mother.

I think it was in the summer of 2005 before I went to Universirty. I was watching Forrest Gump.

 

[Woodsey]

1873. Of course, back then we called them Picture Jiffers.

 

[FireAza]

I threw my VCR out around... Six years ago, so probably a few years before that. I never really built up a VHS collection, only when DVD came out did I start a video library.

 

[FangShadow]

A few months ago, when the cable went out in our house for like a week or two. Watched it with a combination of monty python and cheap laugh dvds....and green lantern ( I was desparate!!!) Mostly it was my girlfriends collection with things like matilda and the addams family movie...oh and mouse hunt!

Hmmm Probably 10 years to be honest. I dont remember exactly when I moved from buying Anime on VHS and to DVD but it was in the early 2000s.

 

[Slipped Mind]

It was 2002/2003, I think.

I remember years ago, having to record my mother's soaps onto VHS for her whilst she was at the pub with my dad. Had to take out the breaks and everything. I was livin' the dream.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

years ago. I remember the good old VCR. That was back when you could fix things by hitting them. Can't do that anymore.

This Thursday, most lecture theatres have either a VCR or a VCR/DVD combo unit installed in them. And I'm the guy that had to test them before semester start.

 

[Aeriath]

Not entirely sure, but as my PS2 was the first DVD player in our house probably around when I got it (around 2002-2003 maybe?). I haven't been as fast on the uptake of Blurays as I was DVD's because there isn't as much incentive to do so.

 

[Frybird]

Funny you mention that, about a week ago i recieved this unmarked VHS tape in the letterbox, so i buried out my old vcr from the basement, hooked it up and watched it.

It was a 1/2-ish minute short, bad quality, looked like some kind of student film with weird imagery, very muted blueish colors, and some cheap "shock" closeups on icky things.

Sometime after i recieved a call about the video that told me some date (didn't really listen).

I guess it's some kind of viral marketing, really annoying and invasive though.

when I was a little kid in the early 2000,s
