The first format that allowed home users to play movies on a TV rather than going to a theater. Debuted somewhere around 1970, VHS tapes allowed people to record Televison programs off a VCR. It was considered a breakthrough technology until DVD's came out around 1997.
The truth is, VHS tapes are more durable than DVD's. They can be thrown around, gotten wet or stored in high heat, and still play. The minute you get a scratch on a DVD, it will skip. You can't break a VHS tape, but a DVD can be snapped in half.

I've still got an old copy of ET from the 80's, and lots of recorded programs from the 80's and 90's. I love VHS!

A very popular, but old model of the Holden Commodore, made from about 1981 to 1983. It came with three engine options: The infamous Holden StarFire 4 cylinder, the blue 202 3.3L 6, and the 4.2L 253 V8. Its an old car, but its still a good and cheap car, and its very popular for people who like restoring Commodores.
Nice VH!
Yeah well yesterday i blew the engine on my VH
I bought a VH today, my plans are to put in a 308, late model Commodore interior and get it registered.

DVD's have to be handled more carefully and be placed in environments with a certain level of humidity and temperature... despite the longevity DVDs have they seem to be a bit more fragile than the VHS. If you still have VHS tapes KEEP THEM! until they are completely unusable.

The movie format that cool kids use. When a vhs finally goes bad, which rarely EVER happens you can stretch out the tape and wear it as a necklace, can DVDs do that? I don't think so.
Boring kid: Hey wanna watch Transformers, I just got it on DVD
Cool kid: Why do that when we could watch my VHS copy of Breakfast at tiffanys?
