Yeah, I still have my VHS player.

I do, and the tapes and the player work like dream.

If I don't have the DVD, yeah.

yes and i also rub two sticks together to create fire

I use mine about once a week.

i own a couple VHS, but i dont really use them

I hade 80 + back in those days now its 25

Just brought a small tv for my bed room its a two in one tv and dvd player

Ofcourse, I mean, I did spend money on them.

I still use VHS. There are a couple of 2nd hand stores around that sell them for ridiculously cheap. It's a good way of checking out some older movies that I've never seen. Then, if I like it enough, I'll buy it on DVD.

I agree with Devil King.

Plus, some VHS tapes I own DO have DVDs, but have no good extra stuff, like commentaries, so why even bother getting the DVD for it?

I've pretty much completely ditched VHS. I don't even have a VCR in my room anymore.

I have one of those 2 in one players, with VHS and DVDs. It's very handy.

Still use now and again.

Matter of fact I havent even bought a DVD yet.Gonna have to soon though since all the new films are only available to rent on DVD.

i masturbated while watching eyes wide shut on vhs the other day.

i bought 3 Doctor Who vhs the other wknd
it was an odd experiance
i forgot the tape plays straight from the word go!
after years of dvd menus i was caught out...dick

I use VHS as tea coasters

wouldnt you be better off using 75% of your Bruce Willis dvds as coasters?

Wouldn't it be easier to speak if you took your dick outta your mouth?

Wouldn't it be easier for me if you would stop posting comments like that, Inmate? Please refrain from having that sort of attitude or your membership here won't last long.

Cheers for the advice but seeing as ive no one to talk to as everyone is in bed and it doesnt really affect my typing skills im ok for now thanks.

I watched the OT yesterday on VHS.

I Love VHS!
I will get into DVD because allot of the movies i love not on VHS.
All i ever hear is how DVD is better then VHS EVER!!!
I also hear that people can`t buy VHS anymore----NOT TRUE!!!
A place maybe to buy VHS Amazon.com.
Other places to buy VHS in California are garage sales.
Also Flea Markets.
Also Goodwill thrift stores.
Also Record stores in Berkley, California and in San Jose, California.

Males rule!

Yup, just bought 10 movies for 5 bucks. I hardly rent movies anymore, just the ones I want to watch.

I havent rented a dvd in 3 years.

I do.not for long though.My library i went to the other day said they didnt have a movie that I wanted to watch on VHS.That it was only available on DVD.The thing is just a week ago they told me it WAS available on VHS but now its not cause they are switching everything to DVD.Everythings all going to DVD now so now I have no choice but to get a DVD player.thats my new years resolution.

I recently sold all of my VHS movies and my VCR on Ebay.

HELL NO.

i don't use vhs. i don't even rent dvds. Don't think i have since 2002. God (Al Gore) made the internet for a reason!

No, i do not use VCR anymore..

I do.

I have a Sanyo and a Sony.

Our neighbours are moving out and they are gradually moving boxes, and I saw one box with a lot of VHS tapes in, poor souls.

i have only my favorites, but not all of them. but when the dvd came out, my family didn't buy it for a while; we had so many VHS.
no that i've moved to my own apt. i just borrowed a few of my favorites : Princess Bride, Shakespeare in Love, Romancing the Stone and The Jewel of the Nile, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Citizen Kane, His Girl FridAY, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Indy Jones The Last Crusade.

I know that seems like a lot, but trust me, it's not.

VCR Case Mod

I need bigger pictures.

^yes that is something to laugh at

Funny I came upton this thread as I was just thinking about VHS'es today.

Now the thing is my big room here is basiclly me and my friends studio when we work with movies, so therefore we need a great deal of equiptment available to us, because you never know what you might have to check out etc. So that means a VHS is a must.

Now about the movies, well this is what got me thinking about VHS'es today, I was kinda bored and I thought hell, I'l go down to the ol guest room and dig trough that closet which contains like 150 VHS'es half of them are either movies I've copied or recorded back in the day when I was like 12 or something.

So I found like 20 tapes which cought my interest, and I took them upstairs to flip trough as some did not have a name on them, and some I wanted to see. Now something starnged happend to me, I somehow fell in love with that shoddy quality, it was just like watching movies when I was a kid. I don't know why but it had something to it, some charm of some sort, the damn ol VHS, now im going to watch all those 20 movies on VHS!

I do indeed as the following haven't been released on region 2 DVD yet:

Famous Five (90s series)
Harry Enfield and Chums/Television Programme
The Scariest Places on Earth: Home Video Edition
Clive Barker's Nightbreed
Haunted
Scream Team (recorded)
Strange (recorded)

Can you play other regions on your dvd player?


I will never go back to the quality of VHS if there is a DVD of the same film, it's too big a difference to enjoy it, for me. No amount of childhood memories would change that.

On my old one I could, but I can still play 'em on my computer, luckily my VCR plays other regions - hence having the Scariest Places on Earth video.

vhs = (really) old school

I have the player but no tapes

Some guy was selling a big box of porn on VHS for $5. I bought it and found nothing out of the ordinary...damn..I was hoping to find something retro or vintage good stuff.

HA! you got ripped off. Thats whats the internet is for.

Yeah. There are many titles that are really hard to find and never even got to DVD, so that's why I keep the VCR around for my collection of...adult educational films.

Yes,

Infact I'd say more then half my collection is on VHS. So hundreds of them. As far as VCR's I have stand alone unit and two attached to TV's.

As to whether I use them. Yes at least as often as I watch DVDs.

In truth. VHS is still my prefered format in many ways. While I like DVDs for special features and the like. They will never beat VHS in playability/durability. I can find a VHS that has been buried in the back of a closet for 20 years collecting dust with boxes sitting on top of, stick in a vcr and it'll play. DVDs are hit or miss whether they'll play when you first open them.

I still use tapes. IMHO they were the most durable technology. Shit, I still have 1980's Ninja Turtles cartoons that work like a charm. If you look at a blue-ray or DVD crossed-eyed it will shatter, shitty technology -- I think they were designed so that people have to spend more money.

No
