VHS when I was about 7 - 8 years old. I remember recording the 1984 National League playoffs on VHS tapes back then.

Got my first DVD player around late 2001 and started collecting at that point. I didn't move up to Blu-Ray until a few years ago.

"Quite a bit bigger" being like...0.25 inches thicker than if it doesn't have it....
It's not niche for me. And the external USB optical drive might even be acceptable...if these jerks would replace the missing optical drive w/ more USB ports. But they usually don't.
IDK, I can count on one hand the amount of times I have used a disk drive on a computer in the last 10 years, and all but one of those is when I needed to install the operating system/drivers on it(both of which can be done with flash drives nowadays). If I am going to watch a movie I would rather stream it or I can just use my PS3.

I started at VHS.

But let me shed a single tear for the unsung hero that is the VCD.

From kid to teen? Damn, I guess it would be VHS...didn't get my first DVD player until my PS2, and I was about 20 already I think.

one thing I miss about movies or tv shows for VHS is when there were a few episodes of Monsters and Freddy's Nightmares released for VHS at stores.

I still have the retail VHS of No More Mr Nice Guy of Freddy's Nightmares. Still the best first episode ever

I use an optical drive all the time. Good luck playing The Sims 2 without one. They don't even offer it digitally anymore.
