R.I.P. the VCR

[Big Dick McGee]

I just got an email from TiVo, with the following message:

An era is ending, but a new one is here!

Embrace the future with $150 off and 3 months of TiVo® service FREE*!
Did you know...?

• Many manufacturers have halted production on VCRs forever!
• 2006 will be the last year for VHS movie releases.

This week in New York City, we'll bid a final farewell to video recording hassles forever as we lay the beloved VCR to rest. And for our beloved subscribers, TiVo® and Best Buy are making sure you can join us in spirit with the world's first, best, and easiest-to-use DVR.

Bring your friends and let TiVo change their lives!

If you don't have a DVD player or a DVR yet, you're screwed. A VCR will only be good for recording television. How long before they stop making blank VHS tapes??

 

[Gagh]

Yes! LET IT DIE!

 

[Mentalist]

Until you can easily and cheaply record TV to DVD the VCR will never die.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

I do it for around 40 cents mate! Sometimes as little as 10 cents!

I have a DVR and 3 VCRs. The VCR still comes in plenty handy. Plus it will take half my life to transfer stuff on VHS to DVD that didn't get reissued, and by then DVDs will be obsolete...

IT'S A RACKET JUST LIKE PCs I TELL YA!!!

 

[Mentalist]

I have over 3000 video tapes.

 

[The Question]

[Captain Jack]

Damn. What am I going to do with all them tapes?

Record them to DVD
