The above ad is from 1990
The second and third advertisements are from 1978. The ads are from a company that is STILL IN BUSINESS!... The company is called VIDEO-X-PIX / DISTRIBPIX.
If you're reading this, then chances are, the VHS / BETA era was part of your life.
Well, for those of you that don't know, there are at least three VHS documentaries that I know of, and probably more on the way.
In addition, there has been a lot of activity in regards to NEW tapes being released. Plus, sales of old tapes are booming.
Everybody has their own reasons for collecting.
I don't know why I love this crap format, maybe it's the memories. As I've said before, I consider my tapes to be movie memorabilia.

I don't know when - or if - any of these films will be released on DVD.
My first VCR was a Beta (kick me)! Not only did I later have to re-buy most of my faves in VHS, but had to do it again for DVD. But when Sony strong-armed the industry to bring about the Bluray era, I called a halt to the double and triple dipping. Sorry Sony, ain't gonna "upgrade" so Blu can go Blo!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, I'm NOT going to switch to BLU either
