Its a shame there on the way out. though I suppose in the wake of DVD/Bluray/Streaming it's inevitable really that VHS would slowly fall into a Niche market of enthusiasts and collectors.
I like the feel tape gives to movies. the softness, the fuzz. It really enhances the viewing experience for me
though one of the downsides is that inevitably barring a resurgence we may well see the full death of VHS within our lifetimes as they slowly lose there signal over time...still! thats a good good way off and in the mean time im happy juddering along with my 3 machines whirring on a regular basis
