Common Sense: VHS is dead | Saturday, February 25, 2006 @ 12:49AMVHS is dead. People need to come to reality with it and move on. Most movies are on the DVD format only. That is right, stop complaining to the video clerk about how they do not have any VHS tapes, they are not made anymore, and it is not possible for the video clerk to buy something that does not exist. So just buy a damn DVD player, they cost less than $40.
Who would want a VHS copy over a DVD? DVDs come in widescreen so you can watch the movie as the director intended, 5.1 surround sound and even if you do not listen in surround the audio is still clearer and more vibrant sounding, and most importantly a DVD does not degrade in quality every time you watch it.
So, you still want a VHS copy of the movie. If you even find a VHS copy of the movie you want, I hope you enjoy only watching only half the movie with muddy audio. I also hope you do not plan to watch it many times because before long, the video will be snowy, the VCR will be unable to adjust for the bad tracking and the audio will hiss, that is of course assuming the VCR does not chew the VHS tape thereby destroying the VHS tape.
