Poor old VHS getting attached here...

I still got m VHS collection lol. Few reasons. Some of the original VHS are uncut compared to DVD. Fox especially decided to turn some of their R movies to MA and cut out scenes, and you just can't find those versions digitally from any DVD rip version.

The analog snow and rolling bands do have a certain charm :p S-VHS was quite good as well, too bad it was never used for selling movies afaik. Yet recordings were almost as good as live tv. (400 lines instead of 240). When digital VCRs came out it was a no brainer to make the switch, we still use those.

Ah the memories of prying out a tape stuck in the machine, good times!

We still have a bunch of Disney movies on VHS, original packaging and all. No clue how they look now. I'm more sad about Laserdisc disappearing / not getting a successor in that size format. The special editions were amazing as well as the artwork on the normal editions. They did take up a lot of space though, and a box full of them weighs a ton. Plus many movies you had to switch discs halfway through.
