Time to bump this thread back to life....
I'm still using VHS daily. I use it for recording reviewing surveillance as it's easier to view than a DVR.
I still watch a lot of movies on VHS and still record a lot of stuff on VHS.
Why not keep using it? Movies are 25 cents in the thrift stores. If the movie sucks I can record over it.
Also just bought Panasonic Omnimovie PV-200D off ebay today.
