I bought my first DVD player back in March at H.H. Gregg for $149.99. It's a Toshiba. It also plays CD-ROMs and "burnt" CDs downloaded off the Internet
My VCR, which I must have put over 5000 hours on in a 5 1/2 year run, died on me a few months ago. I will get it repaired to get it to play my old tapes from time to time, but it's DVDs when it comes to rentin' the flicks.
Besides, you can get more stuff off a DVD than you can a VCR. Director's commentary, trivia games, bonus footage and features. DVDs are off DA HOOK!!
My favorite video rental store, Video Central, and it's branches (North Campus Video, and Video Central - Westerville Rd., and Bethel Rd) is phasing out VHS rental, and is replacing them with DVDs. About half the stores right now is DVD and is scheduled to be 100% DVD by 2004.
So toss dat ol' VCR in the attic and get with the times and represent with a DVD player 'cause ya' get a lotta COOL stuff, I guarantee it!
PS, Once you go DVD, you'll never wanna go back to VHS
I LOVE my DVD player
