Whats the deal with VHS tapes?
They seem to be going away. I’m not sure anyone is still making them at all. Any movie older than, say, a week is almost certainly out of print, if a VHS version was made at all. As far as our catalog selection goes: we’ve been trimming it down to make room for our ever-increasing DVD collection. Mostly, we’ve been pulling VHS copies of movies that both rarely rent and that we already have on DVD. We’ve been picking up a lot of DVDs of older titles that don’t see much action on VHS — it feels a little perverse to me, spending money on new copies of movies that never rent — but I’m loath to actually lose titles altogether.
