So how is your VHS collection?

Over the years VHS tech just keeps getting older and older, and what with the likes of the release of blu-ray tech and HD-DVD VHS becomes extremely dated and obsolete. Some people I know have completely thrown out thier collection of VHS and some others hold on to their old VCR and VHS vids. So what about you guys? Do you still hold on to your VCR collection? Have you thrown them out completely? Just how is your VHS collection now?

Good topic. I still hang onto my VHS's and well as look for movies in that format. Don't get me wrong I buy DVD's all of the time, (especially the used copies at Blockbuster and stuff) but I never really got into the whole "special-edition, featurettes, ultimate collection" type of stuff with DVD's. The actual movie is just fine with me, which is why VHS's work for me. Plus places like Half-price books always have used VHS's for $1 or so, which is sweet.

Though some movies you have to have in their greatest format, such as T2 and Superman Returns.

I get rid of the VHS whenever my family buys the DVD, so our collection is dwindling

I only own "The Jazz Singer" on VHS. No, not Neil Diamond, but Al Jolson. It's not on DVD yet, which is a travesty given its significance in film history, being the first motion picture with sound.

I've seen parts of that. Al Jolson kicked ass.

I still have quite a few VHS films. I have a lot of horror films on VHS that I haven't upgraded to DVD just yet, like Zombie, The Beyond, Gates of Hell.

All of my VHS movies are at my mom & dad's house in my old room, along with my VCR. I have between 15 and 20, I think. I sold off the vast majority of my VHS library when I switched to DVD.

Good question i dont have any movies on VHS i only have tv proggrames . I still cant afford stuff like west wing ,24 on dvd let alone HDDVD 😠

I dont want to see 3 formats i only want One ! DVD thats it !!

I had a few VHS and when I got my first dvd and started buying the DVDs I stopped buying VHSs altogether so back then I didnt want to throw them away so when I broke up with my ex years ago I just left them there, never looked back. I only have some XXX vhs left but thats about it.

I have a few VHS films left.. But I don't have a VHS player.. At least not in my room anyway.

VHS I've spent the most? Puppet Master. The rest with my underwear.

I have a VCR and some Vhs left

I got a bunch of classic horror vhs that i will never part with - Evil Dead,brain damage,basket case,dolls etc and my Star Wars VHS(i have the first Star Wars movie on BETAMAX too!!!) but ive replaced everything else with dvd copies.

Got about a shelf full of videos left, my vhs collection has gone down immensely, due to getting my favourite films on dvd to replace the vhs version of it, and sold a load of others/charity shops for ones I'm not too keen on anymore.

You can really tell the difference between vhs quality and dvd quality, so can't see myself buying vhs tapes ever again.

I have some, mostly ones that I can't find on dvd, nice vhs editions(got an old video of the original Hills Have Eyes that can sell for about £45 apparently, so keeping that).

Still got a VCR and probably will keep getting them till you can't find them in the mainstream shops, unless we upgrade to a dvd recorder to record stuff off the television...

and message boards

I'm slowly replacing my VHS collection with DVD's (my VHS collection is outdated anywayz! so I can buy the DVDs pretty cheap)

i only got the ghostbusters collection pack on VHS

You should have brought it on dvd

I own lots of VHS's mostly old animated disney's but still

i only watch my star wars and harry potter vhs's thought cuz the rest are buried somewhere in my attic

i wonder is it a good time to hunt down old horror videos from the video nastie era that people had in their collections unaware of their value but have now sold them off or given them to charity shops or is everyone wise to Ebay??
