Do any of you guys still use those bad boys or are you trying to be "hip" by using DVD's and Blu Ray?

I still use it occasionally if I rent a movie that's only on VHS format from the library. But that's roughly 10% of the time.

Right now I got Hot Shots 1 and Part Deux ;3

I still use them to record something when I can“t watch it at that time.

The last movie I watched on VHS was "Ants"... last week.

It's weird I didn't see this until now, hip means cool and up to date but hipster means you hate stuff that's cool and up to date.

I wish I still had a VCR....so many movies that I haven't seen in for fucking ever. It's just not as cool to watch them on a DVD or internet stream : (

I own exactly one VHS now. I don't even own a VHS player anymore but I will not get rid of this video, it is the essence of my youth and in the great clear out of VHS's over the years, something deep inside of me tells me no, don't give it up, not for anything!

i haven't had a vhs player in a long time, but i own a few limited or rare vhs tapes of my favorite films just for collector's sake

i really didn't start buying movies until about 10 years ago and they were all on dvd by then

unless you're going to flea markets or something, i dunno where you would even buy vhs tapes anymore (besides online)

Yeah, my "Doors" movie is on VHS. Why search everywhere to find it on DVD? Besides, it's nice to go back to the times of fast forwarding and rewinding.

I occasionally use the VHS to record a TV episode that I'm going to miss while I'm out, but that's it. I'm probably getting a DVR soon anyway, and that'll be the last I see of tapes.


Your opinion is wrong.

I broke my video player by stuffing biscuits into it when I was younger.

With this you can infer my teenage years are loooong gone

I sold the last of mine in a car boot sale years ago, just didn't have enough space to take them with me.

I still have a few collections like my brothers Startrek, Farscape and Buffy etc. But no idea where they are atm.

I've got lots of them. Including ones of music videos, cartoons, and movies that were taped off TV as far back as 1988 (when my family first got a VCR).
In contrast i only have 9 DVD's.

nothing 'hip' about higher quality, but i do like recording audio to vhs tape

just stop being a retard who doesn't know the definition of words and thinking people actually adhere to your perception of the word then applying it to them

I don't use VHS anymore, and I quit using them at a pretty young age because my family started buying DVDs when they were brand new and most people didn't have them. I watched the Land Before Time so many times the tape broke though.

VHS is way better, it lasts much longer because it can't get scratched, DVDs are just a scam. Unfortunately, they no longer put movies on VCR cassettes.
