actually, there is tons of great porn on VHS that will never make it to DVD. I wouldn’t say its completely dead, but pretty much.

If you don’t mind paying for shipping, you can recycle VHS tapes and all sorts of “technotrash” through Greendisk: http://www.greendisk.com

@Matt
You can get a blu ray player for $200, and an hd tv for ( not a 60″ of course ), for around $400… You can get a flashy car for $30,000, then pay maintence fees, gas, brakes, tires, tune-ups…… Just sayin’

PS Bye bye VHS, I miss you already!

now video goes 2 different ways:
1. high definition
2. mobile
DVD will still be around for few years, as there’re a lot of DVD players/recorders/drives around

Matt,

Your point, although somewhat valid, is extremely diluted by your bad grammar and spelling. No wonder you make $600/wk. Sure, I’ll take a cookie…if you can afford it.

yeah dvds where replaced but there in different format, the physical size of the dvd has not changed since there intorduction. so technicaly dvds have not been phased out, im sure when they came out with high capacity recording tapes that where like 6hours if i remember correctly they didnt say VHS has taken its course. dvd is the most brilliant idea in a long time. im not into the HD or blueray dvds, but i did see the dark knight on blueray and thought it was stunning, im not the kind of person to go out and buy a $900 HD tv a $500 blueray player just to watch a movie, if your trying to compensate for something just do the old school way buy a big flashy car. and im sure if i made $600 $700 a week at my job which i assume most people who boast about haveing blue ray does, then good for you, do you want a cookie ?

the biggest memory in my mind was needing to have a third party device just for rapidly rewinding the tapes.

What I actually wanna know is how to properly dispose of these VHS. I imagine the landfill would be a bad place for them…

It is a little sad, but I will always have my VHS tapes of cartoons from the 80’s and 90’s. Every so often, I will watch from time to time.

So you all may be too harsh on the geriatric technology that is VHS. How long has it been around? 30+ years? DVD didn’t even make it that long before it was replaced by HD and the Blu Ray. So, as much as I can show my appreciation for a plastic and somewhat internally animate object….thank you for the many years of great cartoons and awesome movies.

Oh how time does fly by. I can remember only having VHS tapes and the first time I heard “DVD” and watched one. That was when DVD players were new and cost an arm and a leg. Now you can go out to Wal-Mart and get one for 30 bucks.

Bye-bye VHS.
