Nowdays DVDs are fading out now XD Yeah, Blu-ray and 4K have pretty much replaced DVD completely. Also more people are streaming these days as well. Personally I prefer to have the physical media. If I want to watch a movie, I don’t have to worry about connection issues. I don’t have to worry about the service being down or saying it can’t play the title in question either. Also I take great care of my DVD’s and disc games, so the worry of them being damaged is almost nil. 1 hour ago, Grungie said: I still have one. I barely use the device though. It does fit the aesthetic of my retro setup. Having it paired with the old consoles and a CRT adds to the flair. I still have a VCR/TV combo. I use it a lot if I want to watch a movie on cassette.

We tossed a lot of our tapes. We moved around a lot, and we didn’t watch most of them, so we ditched them. A good chunk of them were just recordings from channels like HBO and not authentic ones anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I myself still have two VCRs video players 😉 they have DVDs players in them also. I do not use them much anymore as I stream on Amazon or netflix but they are there to keep and not throw away. I want to try and last. End of the day I still got videos laying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd probably ask if it has Bluetooth connectivity and HDMI connection.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clasher Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 The good old days, my dad was so into electronics and would buy whatever he felt was a good addition to his sets. We still have those VCR's packed in our store house my dad doesn't like to get rid of stuffs as well so our store house is practically a junk yard. I strongly believe we could open a museum with some of his old gadgets we kept there. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
