I still have several VCRs and a whole lot of VHS tapes. Not just kids stuff either. Anyone who says "Oh everything which was on VHS is on DVD now" is 100% wrong. Especially if you are a horror fan like I am; the 80s horror VHS market was huge, second only to pornography, and there are tons of tapes from that era which will never end up on DVD. Also, VHS is a MUST for wrestling fans. How many PPVs do I have on tape from back in the day? How many TV shows? How many tapes do I have from RF Video? I don't even want to think about those numbers. Same goes for the early (read: pre-Dana White) UFCs which have never been put on DVD. It's amazing the neat stuff you can find on VHS for pennies. At a thrift store in Florida at Turkey Day, I got "All Good Things" from ST:TNG for quarter!
