I think I'll survive, heh.

**mrllxp** · 12-23-2008, 11:41 PM

Thankfully, I chucked all of my VHS tapes before I moved south.

**infollafago** · 12-23-2008, 11:45 PM

**toponlinecasinoer** · 12-24-2008, 12:51 AM

So, anybody have an estimation on when DVD will be obsolete? I know I'll eventually need a Blu-Ray player, but I'm not looking forward to having to re-purchase the 118 movies I have on DVD, or pay $300 for a player(My fucking Xbox 360 cost the same amount as a Blu-Ray player).

i believe you can play DVD's on a blu- ray player.

or get a PS3 and you get a blu Ray/Video Game system and play DVDs on it.

**ferelrossi** · 12-24-2008, 02:07 AM

I still have lots of VHS movies from the past, so I hope they don't stop making the players anytime soon. If so, I'll just have to "acquire" the movies.

you should get a cheap VHS player and stock up on them

I've actually heard from a few people that Blu-Ray is more likely to bite the dust before DVD. And yes, your Blu-Ray player can play standard DVDs, allegidly at better quality too.

**Savviioor** · 12-24-2008, 02:48 AM

i don't have one anyways. got rid of all my vhs when i moved to valdosta

**SM9WI8oI** · 12-28-2008, 07:36 PM

I've got about 1000 films on VHS, guess I'll gradually replace them with DVDs.

**OShellszz** · 12-29-2008, 02:05 PM

I can live without VHS altogether.

**SnareeWer** · 12-29-2008, 02:44 PM

I was going to burn all mine onto CD/DVDs, but their days are numbered, too. How long is a digital recording on a flash drive supposed to last?

I would say 5-6 hours maximum

**Soadiassy** · 06-02-2009, 01:28 AM

I meant shelf life, not the time length of the video. LOL
