RE: VHS BLANKS STILL AVAILABLE

Posted by Cosmic Closet on October 23, 2008 at 07:43:23:

Apart from quality issues, enjoy your collection; you're obviously quite dedicated to video tape.

I still have VHS and Betamax because I still have tapes not transferred to digital. While I can count the scan lines when I play them on the Panasonic 58 HD screen, I can still appreciate them as I see them more as a piece of my media history, much like when I play audio cassettes. There are lots of memories on them. Will I ever mistake them for my Blu-Rays? Hardly.....

Older formats I use because they ARE high quality: 2-track reel-to-reel and LPs.
