Target already ceased all VHS movies

Foxrac · 09-22-2006, 10:06 AM

I was in Target and check out some movies on shelves, all VHS movies are gone for good and replaced into DVD, HD-DVD and even BD movies. Best Buy and Circuit City already ceased all VHS movies in 2002 or 2003 but I asked employee at Wal-Mart about what final date for cease all VHS movies then they will said phase all VHS out by end of year because they need enough shelves to add HD-DVD and BD movies but BD movies don't release at Wal-Mart yet, around by end of year.

DeafMonkey · 09-22-2006, 10:08 AM

Here wal mart and others still have VHS

didnt remove cause some ppl who cant afford rather cheaper I guess

DreamDeaf · 09-22-2006, 10:10 AM

Well, we knew this would happen - I plan to keep my VCR for taping television shows, but I've already started buying DVD movies to replace my old VHS movies... will give them away when Ive got them all. They do save room!

The only problem is ... we gotta replace so many!

Well, DVD movies are getting more cheaper but resolution is much better than VHS.

LakeTahoe · 09-22-2006, 10:20 AM

Me too!

I knew it too because more and more people buying DVD than VHS. We still have VCR! I'll ask my mom what to do with it because it is belong to her! Mine already donated to woman shelter. DHB's vcr is somewhere in the house...and probably it will have to go too.

VHS are getting dead!!! But I still keep it just in case...

lumbingmi · 09-22-2006, 11:05 AM

Good bye VHS. I dont have them anymore. DVD is much better for storage purpose.

Now will blu-ray be successfully .....

Banjo · 09-22-2006, 11:39 AM

Well, the local Wal-Mart stores here carry both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs.

Foxrac · 03-01-2007, 09:46 AM

Update...

Wal-Mart is already ceased all VHS movies and replace into twin or triple pack of DVD movies, also I saw alot of boxes that all VHS are in after took all of them off from shelves. I guess that almost none of stores are sell VHS movies.

Not at most location for HD-DVD, some do but BD is carrying at all Wal-Mart but only find in gaming section, that where PS3 is located.

Best Buy have ALOT of HD-DVD and BD movies, that one reason because I love to shopping at Best Buy.

YAY! I glad they stop selling all VHS movies! I love DVD! It's best
technology ever in my life.

Good bye VHS forever!
I won't buying VHS unless... um, it's only for interesting movies-- nothing.
Let's forget about VHS, move on with my DVD!

Since most of my movies are in DVS, it's fairly rare that I've watched or owned a movie in DVD. WGBH, a major describer over here, only offers it's movies in VHS. Audiovision has DVD, but they've got a limited selection of only older movies.

That said, I can understand getting rid of VHS. They degrade over time, which is unfair to the person buying it.

At Wal-Mart, VHS movies are cost at $2.50 or more but all are gone.

PowerON · 03-15-2007, 01:28 AM

I see VHS still selling.....

at 99¢ store

UpstNYDesigner · 03-19-2007, 01:09 PM

I can image Al Bundy (from Married..with Children) grumpy about the changes. He STILL has the BETA (first type of video taping prior to VHS)! "Hey Peggy, what is this now they are changing!?" Then gives that look. "Peggy, now people are giving away VHS. I am going to check garage sales to buy a 10 buck VHS machine and get all that movies." Peggy replies, "Oh that is great, Al." Al departs to look for that working VHS and VHS movies to replace his aging BETA machine.

Hahaha!!

I know what you all feel. Hated to replace system but glad you do not need to rewind. I have a bunch of VHS I taped and some VHS movies I am replacing. Already replaced the entire Star Wars collection, and Jackie Chan movies (a few). But just a couple of others I should have bought DVD back in 02 when I received the DVD player as a gift. My first DVD movies happened to be "Back to the Future" DVD set (all 3 movies plus 20 hours of outtakes, errors, goofs, and more) and that DVD set was my prize from Universal Studios/USA Network sweepstakes. I WON that 3 in 1 package DVD set!!! I said to myself when I won it, I said, "GREAT SCOTT!!!" then I saw that I won the Back to the Future set! LOL!!! Now I have over 125 movies and 1 tv series (LOST).

I recalled when a woman who was a representative for a DVD company who was at now defunct AMES replacing VHS with DVDs and then I told her I dont like replacing them since I bought movies and now you want me to repurchase it again??

NOW, the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray whatever that is are coming out and MUST I replace again!!!!!!????? SCREW those companies and I am sticking with DVD for life. If they decide to stop making DVDs and use other formats, I am done with purchasing. They NEED TO STOP SCREWING US AND STICK WITH ONE FORMAT FOR LIFE!!! That is why I want Apple Computers to change to PC format as well! We need ONE universal format for each electronics! There, now I am like Al! LOL!! Wink!

PowerON · 03-20-2007, 09:49 AM

Most low-class can't afford DVD... in Mexico.

***VamPyroX*** · 03-29-2007, 04:23 PM

I have over 200 VHS movies. Perhaps, some of you would like to buy them from me?

Banjo · 03-29-2007, 06:59 PM

The reason why new formats keep coming out is because they are more advanced and better than the previous formats.

I wouldn't want to stick to just one format for my entire life when I know they can be better.

Though I don't think you have anything to worry about. You won't have to replace your movies on DVD at all. You know why? Because Blu-Ray/HD DVD players can play DVD movies. So the option is there for you to upgrade to a 1080p player without having to give up your DVD collection.

This is a better situation for us this time around in comparison the VHS-to-DVD transition.

P.S., Apple, Inc. shouldn't and will not change their computers to the PC platform. Though it is now possible to run Vista on the new Intel Mac computers with Apple's Boot Camp software and some other softwares due to the x86 motherboard.

Yeah, I agree.

I don't care much for Blu-Ray or HD DVDs. I'm satisfied with the DVDs I have. I've gone to stores and seen them show off videos of stuff in HD and they do look good, but it's because those videos were specifically designed to show off the details. For instance, one video focused on the grass waving in the wind and another video focused on the mechanics of the inside of a watch.

Well, when I watch movies... I won't see the grass waving in the wind or the inside of a watch. I'll be seeing actors doing comedy, action, and romance. Where's the graphic detail in telling a knock-knock joke? Where's the detail in seeing a car blowing up or someone getting shot at? Where's the detail in seeing a couple making out in public?

If I want to focus on the superior quality of the small details of parts of a movie, then I'll get Blu-Ray. Right now, that's not cutting it for me.

I'm just stating the facts.

The point is, the consumers are being given the opportunity to make an upgrade. They don't have to, they can just keep on watching movies on DVD which makes sense since most people aren't HD enthusiasts.
