You don't own a DVD player yet? WOW! You can buy a decent one for less than $70. I've owned 6 or 7 DVD players/recorders in the last 8 years. I'd buy a Panasonic and give my JVC to a friend or relative.
I've heard that Blu Ray Players can play regular DVD's and convert them to semi 1080i(very sharp video quality). I hope that's true because I own a ton of DVD's and it would be a shame for them to go to waste. I should watch my VHS tapes, too. In 10-15 years, they'll be unwatchable!
Blu Ray Players are still kind of expensive. The most afforable ones(as of April 2008)are around $400.
I've heard that HD DVD players are going to be discontinued. -

When AMC reran this, I videotaped it, so I don't have to fret about a DVD player yet. I'm afraid I won't be able to hook up the thing and still use my beloved VCR. I am soooo tech-challenged!
So, I now have "The Flesh Eaters", at least AMC's version, however clipped it might be. I'd still love to see a complete version.
Blu Ray?! I have no idea what that is, let alone understanding the rest of it, so I'll have to steer clear and try for the old-style DVD player, with hopes of someday finding "TFE". Thanks to watching Off Beat Cinema (Channel 18), my "want list" is expanding, what with them showing commercial-packed versions of such wonders as "The Crawling Hand" and "Mesa of Lost Women".
VHS tapes unwatchable?! I have tapes that are 25 years old and still hold up, even for being taped-over. If I should lose my collection of films and TV series, I'd be heartbroken! So, just in case Knock on wood!!!
