Topic	My friend said his aunt still gives out VHS tapes as gifts...
EightySeven 09/17/17 3:33:35 AM #23:	argonautweakend posted... See, I dont know if its new or used. Knowing his aunt, it might be a .99 cent thrift store gift. But if its sealed and brand new it would likely sell for some money, sure. I don't get the appeal in buying VHS tapes like that, because VHS is inferior to DVD and blu-ray in almost every way. Sometimes older media, like vinyl, is still popular because it sounds on par if not better than CDs and digita music. Vinyl is a less accurate reproduction of the original recording and degrades over time. I've never understood why people have such a strong nostalgia for obviously inferior technology. <cite>EightySeven posted [p:886750427] in My friend ...
