Or did you toss it out as soon as you purchased a DVD player?
If you still have it, how often do you use it?

I have one in the kids room, they use it all the time!
The Disney movies are a bit too expensive to replace with DVDs!

We had to replace our DVD player so we got a combo DVD/VCR player and tossed the old VCR. We still have some VHS tapes that people want to watch so we use it once in a while.

Oh yes, still have the VCR. Have a DVD player too. I use them both quite often. The VCR is used mostly for taping shows when I am not home.

I actually have a DVD/VCR combination player. The VCR part of the machine doesn't work, so I can't record or play ANYTHING, but the DVD player still works and that's all that counts. It kinda stinks that I can't record my shows when I go out or am watching something else.

Believe it or not, but besides still having my VCR and still using it, I also have a Beta Max machine which still works. It was bought for me as a present several years ago (long before the VCR came out). At the time it was purchased (the Beta Max) it cost $1700.00
Have a lovely rest of the day.

yes I still have mine....belive it or not...I couldn't replace all my VHS tapes with DVD's . And my 5 yr old loves the VCR...it gives her a sense of being grown up and taking care of herself....because while she is not allowed yet to start a DVD on her own....she is allowed to work the VCR. because she can't scrach the tapes...LOL. And she used it every day...me not as much!

Not only do I have a VCR, I have two; One SVHS, the other standard; both are JVC's; they invented VHS. The SVHS has a built in Video Stabilizers that allows me to record from DVD to VHS.

I think I use my VCR more often than my DVD player. I will never surrender to the new wave of technology, no matter how obsolete I become LOL.

i still have mine and will have it as long as it holds out. I have a zillion vhs cassettes that are in a-one shape and I use it a lot. I use a portable dvd player when I watch my dvd's. I hook it up to my t.v. and it works great.

yes, still have it, still use it - will use it til it dies, when the VHS tapes wear out we get the DVD
mostly we buy DVD's now, but sometimes can't resist buying older movies on VHS when they are like $5 or less (I'm cheap)

Mine is built into my TV (as is my DVD player) - I've never used it.
2007-04-30 07:48:04 UTC
Yes, never use it, still like new do you want to but it?
They may come back in fashion but maybe I should wrap it in cotton wool in case it becomes a collector's item,you never know.
2007-04-30 07:47:00 UTC
I still have it but I barely use it anymore. I didn't give it off because that was the first thing I bought with my paycheck at my first job ever!
2007-04-30 07:45:45 UTC
Still have it. I still have some movies on tape. I use it pretty often actually. I'll sometimes tape shows from TV.

Yes! I record my Favorite T.V shows. (Law & Order; CSI; etc;) I never watch `em as they are presented. This allows me to skip through the commercials. (which I hate!)
