VHS is just about done
« on: June 13, 2005, 10:17:08 PM »
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, plans to follow the lead of other big electronics sellers and exit the VHS business by early 2006, according to a report Sunday.

VHS tapes will still be available through the 2005 holiday season, but will disappear from Wal-Mart shelves sometime soon after February, said the Hollywood Reporter, citing industry sources familiar with the matter.

Wal-Mart representatives could not immediately be reached for comment.

The move comes after an announcement from Target (Research) that it will phase out VHS sales by September. Best Buy (Research) and Circuit City no longer sell VHS tapes, according to the report.

The article said Wal-Mart's plans are another nail in the coffin for VHS tapes as stores seek to free up space for popular DVDs.

Yea, I like VHS...This news sucks...Not only is VHS A LOT cheaper, it's also more reliable and you don't have to worry about scratching it or fucking it up...I dunno, I always like the original shit more...DVD's have a lot more features and stuff, but VHS is just simple and convenient...I own a gang of VHS and DVD, but a movie is a movie and VHS was a money-saver for me...PeACe
