Hi everyone,
I'm not sad to see the departure of VHS. I knew VHS was well on its way out when DVDs hit the move rental stores and that it's days were sorely numbered when I saw DVD Recorders that worked like VCRs on the shelves at electronics shops. I gave up on its entirely after I bought a DVR.
One thing I disagree with is the following statement:
""The DVD will be obsolete in three or four years, no doubt about it. Everything will be Blu-ray," Kugler said, anticipating the next resident at his pop culture retirement home. "The days of the DVD are numbered. And that is good news for me.""
I do not believe DVDs will be obsolete in three or four years. People aren't switching to Blu-Ray that quickly. Maybe when Blu-Ray players are $75.00 or less or when the cost of owning a PlayStation drops to that same level but not until that time.
