I barely use my VCR and watch my old tapes. I know my mom used to use that big old camcorder and you know those tapes were so big. Now you can definitely lose the smaller ones. The tapes are so small now, it do not make any since.

My kids have a tv/vcr combo that they use almost everyday to watch their cartoon tapes. We have 2 other vcr's in the house still as well. One is sitting in a box and the other is hooked up to the television in the living room. It rarely gets used.

Yea i understand what you mean on that. It seems every day there is new technology that is always invented. Prime example dvd releases are being released like every day. So you know that this is making VCR's kind of inconvinent because everything we basically watch is on DVD. I love DVD's a lot more than tapes. With a DVD there is better quality, far as the picture the sound. So I am happy for the person who made this DVD. Right now if they are a live or not, they are worth or making a lot of money. This was a brilliant idea.

I do not like using vcr's that much either. I believe that I like to use DVD's a little more. The tapes are not in style I believe. But yea I think that I like to watch DVD's more. The DVD's have better quality. You get to see the high definition.

I have a DVD/VCR combo hooked up to my living room tv. I use it on a regular basis to record wrestling for a friend of mine that doesn't have cable. She loves to watch it so I record while I watch then deliver it to her. Also I still own several movies on VCR and watch some of them with my children on the weekends. It's too bad that everything is advancing so fast. I love watching movies on VCR rather than DVD because so many of them are now going to the wide screen versions.

We still have the VCR and the old tapes. But they have all been transfered over onto DVD. We never watch it. It's always DVD. Ok maybe I should rephrase here. We are still using DVD's but in Blu-Ray form. They are pretty much going to absolete regular DVD's in the next year or two. Which I heard from a Best Buy Employee. All disc players as well as videos are all going to Blu-Ray Disc.
