VHS has it's place. Digital recording isn't anywhere close to replacing VHS.
(There is recordable DVD out now, but still expensive/impractical as hell!)
I have two TVs. Both have DVD players but only one has a VHS machine. I still have it because it's not practically replaceable now. But I wouldn't but a new movie on VHS if a DVD is available.
: I'm sorry but to say that is just wrong. VHS has been a kind and noble friend in the home entertainment biz and deserves respect.
: But
: You convinced me, and DVD has convinced me to spend my money and buy one. Yes, that includes me saving all my pennies and might include some selling of my comics (wolvie#1, I have 2 but one is signed by Claremount) I bought Clerks and Clerks:TAS forcing me to buy one as soon as possible. I suggest that everyone buy one (if you can) and if you can't remember VHS is still a good substitute.

: who cares...but I will not be denied
: : Sorry to you who don't have DVD or LD. But once you start with DVD, VHS looks like total SHIT!
: : Plus commentaries would have to be on seperate tapes (Like Usual Suspects did on VHS) and that sucks! DVD rocks!
: :
: : : stupid question, i know. but i don't have a dvd player. i'm po bitch. so should i get the vhs, or just hold indefinitely for the dvd? is there any comentary or anything on it? did anyone buy it on vhs? just looking for some opinions.
