STING2 said:I wonder how the Best of 1990-2000 DVD and VHS will do? Why isn't much of the extra stuff included on the VHS version? How come none of the stores in my area carried the VHS version but have the DVD? Until recordable DVD players come down in price, I'm not going to be switching away from VHS. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anyone ever bought a VCR that could not record. I'm a bit puzzled by this rush to embrace the DVD before it can do the same things a VCR can at relativly the same price.

STING2 said:I don't think it would make much sense to buy a NON-recordable DVD player to just watch some of the extra stuff on a single U2 DVD. Its like your paying 90$ for the U2 DVD instead of 20$. I may be able to get a lot of that extra stuff by trading bootleg U2 video and concerts as well.
STING2 said:When I become richer, I may get a recordable DVD player for $600 if it starts to be that nothing is released on VHS anymore. Those days are not here yet, but if they do come, more people will demand recordable DVDs which should drop the price some I think.
I have a dozen U2 concerts on VHS, most of them better than what U2 has released commercially.
STING2 said:I imagine I have just the standard VHS copy of the ZOO TV Outside Broadcast from Sydney. I bought it in April of 1994 and it still looks brand new even though I have watched it a lot. I keep most of my video's in the cases and then put them in a large sealed VHS case. That makes a huge difference compared to just leaving a video unprotected in the corner of a room. I had not watched one of those videos of a Redskins Super Bowl for a while and to my shock discovered that the picture was gone and the sound was going when I played it. VHS tapes can last, but you have to take care of them.
