Page 1 of Anyone still collect videos...?

Even though I have replaced nearly all my videos with dvds, I still like to keep the videos. There`s something in the nostalgia factor - I like having something the way it was when it originally came out (I still love/keep all my old vinyl too!). I love some of the video packaging - like the big boxed James Bond movies and the original Star Wars movies featuring the original artwork and packaging. Anyone else?







Ok, I`ll get me coat... ;)

`I am going to live forever, or die trying`...

I have bought a few VHS recordings recently.. but only for my degree and ony because there is no dvd version

We still have a wall of videos. We won`t be selling them and replacing on DVD cos that would cost too much.

my gf still buys the occasional video if it`s a film we don`t own, but the video is really cheap in a charity shop, or Cash Converters.

I can`t remember last time we watch a bought video though. Actually I can. Escape from LA was on TV, but I hadn`t seen escape from NY, my gf bought that years ago, so we watched the bought NY video, and then escape from LA on TV and wished we hadn`t ;)

I still have a few VHS videos that you can`t get on DVD still such as the original theatrical version Blade Runner.

DVD collection

My library has most of mine, together with some going to the local hospice shop. I replaced them with dvd`s and if theirs no DVD out copyed the old ones without protection onto DVD (ok, technically wrong, but I`m not selling the tapes, so my conscious is clear) . I only have left the copy protected ones still not on dvd. :)
I gonna kill that firefox spellchecker, and enjoy doing it.

Nope slowly working our way through clearing them out to local charities, seems a waste just to take them to the dump after ahem backing up.



I quite like the Helpdesk people in a benevolent (as opposed to malevolent) way as they do some valuable work in preventing us being inundated by every halfwit who can work a phone.

yes i have an absolute ton of videos, i have the whole friends collection on video and even if i got the dvds i would not throw out the videos, all in all i must have about 400 tapes!

A few days back, I bought a VHS at our local Blockie. 1994 vintage copy of Star Wars (not Star Wars: A New Hope, but Star Wars.) Although it has the substituted crawl (the one with Episode 4 - A New Hope appended), it`s closer to the 1977 cut than anything else I`ve got.

I`ve got that one I think Mark. Bought it years back - what colour is the cover?
