Yeah, I still have my VHS player.

I only use it for old porn movies.

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

My family still use it its imbarasing

There is still so much vintage and classic adult films that haven't made it to dvd yet. There are torrents but I avoid those like a plague.

There was a yard sale a few blocks from my place and the guy was asking too much money for a few wcw, wwf, awa and other wrestling videos.

I still use one,I tape the movies I watch on demand and stuff to keep them.

No I sold all of my VHS movies on E-Bay and made alot of money too.

Yep. I just watched Dogma on VHS last night.

I watched Evil Dead on VHS with a few friends the other day for the first time in a long time. I have to say, watching it on video really gave me a kick. Sure the sound was dodgy and the pictures had the typical aged video look, but it really was a new and exciting experience.

After doing this i've decided to collect all the old horror films on VHS even though i'll probably be doubling up on a fair few movies. I really have to say though, its a feel i don't get from dvd, probably the nostaliga of renting horror movies out on vhs when i was a kid. I think its a great idea to collect old videos 🙂

🍺 I'm gonna buy one soon actually, I go to the market a bit and find video's for like 50 cents to 1 dollar,I just want one beacuse you never know what video you might find at a garage sale or some junk shop

🍺 These are the vh's I picked up today

The Beast Master
Judge Dredd
Devil times 5
Dances with wolves
Wizards of the lost kingdom
Empire Records

All for a total of around 5 dollars

🙂 Why not use vhs

I still the Panasonic VCR and LOADS of films I used to watch on cassettes when I was young,but sadly I don't use any of it anymore....

yes but not too offen..

nope

The 9th film in the Puppet Master series

The 9th film in the Puppet Master series, Puppet Master: Axis of Evil takes place after the events in Puppet Master 3. In a stateside hotel during the height of World War II, young DANNY COOGAN dreams of joining the war effort. Following the murder of hotel guest Mr. Toulon by Nazi assassins, Danny finds the old man's crate of mysterious PUPPETS and is suddenly thrust into a battle all his own. He discovers that Nazis MAX and KLAUS, along with beautiful Japanese sabateur OZU, plan to attack a secret American manufacturing plant. After his family is attacked and his girlfriend BETH is kidnapped, it is up to Danny and the living deadly Puppets to stop this Axis of Evil....

Recently transfered our latest shortmovie over to a nicely kept VHS tape somehow gave it a very special look which I am happy about.

Anyway. I was curious if anyone with a new and decent surround reciver has tried to upscale a VHS signal and output it with HDMI?

How dose that look?

i kept my VCR incase someone ever wants me to copy a vhs tape to dvd from my DVR.
