VHS is the best format

Sadly it'll never make a reassurance like vinyl because of the quality, but for me that's exactly why I keep going back to it. I'm sad that the younger folks will never experience not knowing what's happening on the screen because the image is so degraded, or missing chunks of a spaceship because the dark colors are so crushed.
Even if VHS does have a bit of a comeback it won't be the same thing. My experience of Star Wars for the longest time was a VHS recording of a CBC broadcast, and I couldn't make-out half of what was going on! But this was my only way to watch Star Wars so I had to fill in the blanks and make it up in my head! When I actually saw a legitimate copy of the film it lost some of the magic.
I have a decent sized VHS collection and my hope is that I can convince my friends to allow their kids to only watch VHS' …but I think they will say no

i still have hope vhs tapes and vcrs will come back i mean if they can bring back vinyl and turntables and cassette tapes and cassette decks then they can bring back vhs tapes and vcrs.
how did it lose some of the magic star wars when you watched it and saw everything?

no way i was so sad when i read someone say on here that it won't make a comeback like vinyl. it has to come back bc unlike say cassette tapes it's more than just listening to music its; watching movies on your tv it was special.
also you can't call your company videodrome bc that's the name of a movie.
