Yes, you read that right. I still own a working VCR. In fact, we have two of them, and they are both very, very old. I also have a cabinet full of VCR tape movies. A lot of them I now own on DVD also, but for some reason, I am having a hard time getting rid of them.
I have a feeling I am going to have the same problem when I switch from a DVD player to a blu-ray player. I have heard that the quality of a blu-ray movie is so much better than a DVD. The good news is, I can buy the blu-ray movies from iNetVideo.com. They have a huge selection of movies, starting at $6.99. That's right. They have blu-ray movies for less than $7. They also sell DVD's, and I found some for as little as $3.00. (That's cheaper than Walmart) They also have a monthly contest where they give away a blu-ray player, which I would love to win. You can also check out their blog to read up on the latest in entertainment news.

We still have 2 or 3 VCRs and haven't broken down and gotten a Blu-ray player yet. It reminds me of going from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs. You don't want to have to replace the whole collection just because technology changes. Shouldn't have to. There should be a site where you can exchange them. Like turn your video tapes in for DVDs and then to Blu-rays when you get the new players - without having to pay, even though these prices are pretty good.
OK, I'll shut up now. :D
Anna ~ I would love a site like that! I am a movie junkie, and have so many movies on VCR tapes I would love to have on DVD, it's just so expensive replacing every one of them.
