I'm just curious. I bought a cheap second hand VHS player a few days ago to watch some old videos I had when I was a kid.
In my head VHS quality was terrible but it's not as bad as I remember it.

no. i've got a ton of videos in the study, but if i want to watch anything i'd just download the film. if i was to watch em, then it'd just be for the nostalgia-factor opposed to anything else.
not for years no
Not for a long time. I have loads of them lying around but no longer have anything to play them on. :P
You can also buy 5 VHS's for £1 or something stupid like that in the charity shop near me :')
I've never owned a video or VHS player and I'm nearly 19! How deprived ;)
I watch them occasionally, have a dvd/vhs combo thing that plays both. Quite nice to watch old films from when I was younger and stuff
we've got loads in the attic i think, haha. haven't watched any for ages, if i would wanna watch them now i'd just watch them online/buy them. :p
Nope my girlfriend of the time and I bought a VHS player back in 2005 because we realised that we both had loooads of old tapes, but even then we only watched a few because of how rapidly internet speeds increased and just a basic lack of necessity for it. No idea if she still has it, I doubt it though :P
Not really but I still have a load. The only ones I've really watched in the last few years are just ones of recordings from events like parties or weddings etc. There's one from my birthday party when I was like 5 of me picking my nose :(
Nope, I think we pretty much got rid of any videos left in the household. Since we don't have a video player any more and we had some of those on DVD anyway which is so much better quality.
I gave mine to my cousin so she could watch all the VHS movies I had and she broke it!!! I got so mad at her for such a long time! I loved it so much! I haven't watched it in ages though :(
Yea I have still an old portable in my room hehe. I have so many disney movies on tape.
Naah i upgraded to a DVD player years ago :)
My dad has one. I used to watch old films like Breakfast At Tiffany's and Hello Dolly. It's in my storage room but not sure if it's still working, probably not.
Never. Only one video can be found in our house and that's from something to do with me being a child haha :)
i dont but ive got loads, and still got a player in the house.
gave all of ours to a charity shop
Occasionally. I've been a classic doctor who fan for years partly due to my dad (way before the new series) and I started collecting them on VHS, before DVD was out. I decided to keep collecting them as my collection was already large and because they are more rare than the DVDs (even though I don't plan to sell them). I often buy them once or twice a year, adding to my collection e.g. birthday, christmas. The rest it's all DVDs and 1 bluray at the moment.
I miss the old VHS's, I don't own any of them nomore due to moving house and had to get rid of them. It's ridiculous though how cheap you can get them now.
I watch VHS sometimes, I like to see older movies :)
It depends if I can be bothered to get my vhs player out, but i still watch all my baby videos etc. on the vhs player. I also watch my old disney movies on vhs if I'm allowed ;)
Yes :) Me and my girlfriend recently went through four massive cardboard boxes of videos that had been locked away for years... Tons of things in there, from old films recorded from TV, videos of birthdays etc and old TV programs.
As an F1 Fan, I was glad to find some old F1 recordings and watched them :) Although a highlight is watching old TV Adverts :)
nope. i think we threw ours away a few years ago now. it wasn't really being used and we updated to dvds and xboxs :P
I just can't help but laugh at some of the old tv adverts! its amazing just how bad they have gotten though to be honest.Quote:

Still two boxes to go through!Quote:

When my brother used to pay for pay-per view wwe events, he used to buy them then record on a vhs when we didnt have sky plus,
xo
Nope lmao, aint watched one in ages.
The only VHS tapes I have are ones that I am young on, and old kids VHS tapes that I haven't bothered to chuck out or sell. I converted most of them to a hard drive any way.
had old vhs tapes converted to dvds since we don't have a vhs player. only like old family videos and stuff though not like actual films. i still have some old films on vhs but can't watch them cos no player and tbh got most either on dvd or online anyway so probably wouldn't if i could
I've got VHS movies but not a VHS anymore
As much as I loved rewinding the tapes back to the beginning after I watched them. You got to get up to date with the kids
