I consider myself lucky that I didn't get into Anime until the DVD era was in full swing.
Only two animes have ever graced my old tape collection, one being Space Cruiser, which I got when Iwas about 5 or 6 years old. (dubbed Space Battleship Yamato film). Getting rid of all my old VHS tapes wasn't a problem for me however: I gave them all to my local charity shops.

I did it for Evangelion (not three times though, just twice). I had the Collection edition on DVD, then went and forked out NZ$120 for the Platinum edition. Mostly for the special features, but still...... |

switching media is really a problem. when youv'e just update your tape to dvd. Now bluray. I will wait until the prices go down before I give over my money for a new player.

Oh the humanity of it all!
I fully intend to use the PS3 for its bluray capabilities. Other than that, all my vhs tapes (several boxes in the basement) slowly make their way into the hands of my children. It saves my dvds from getting torched, and keeps them entertained

Y'know, if I could just find a way to glue/resin-seal old VHS together, I could make and sell geeky-chic shelving for holding new media! I'll make a fortune!
I suppose I'm lucky in that I didn't accumulate too many videos before switching to DVD. I switched the titles I cared about, and kept the tape I didn't (just in case- they're on top on the DVD shelf.) My sister, luckily, is not terribly concerned with up-to-date visual media and has given my replaced VHS a good home. In the meantime, I've actually been buying new VHS-release only anime to help justify that combo DVD/VCR I have.
The switch to Blu-ray, however, will be different. I have entirely too many anime DVDs now to consider starting over again, so I ain't. At whatever point I have to/am able to make the switch, it'll just be for titles from then on. (I'm sure someone is going to make an ultra-combo VHS/DVD/Blu-ray player by then I can buy.) |

Wow, just... wow... that looked painful.
As for me, my VHS collection was small, I'm 23 now so I really didn't start buying much of my media, DVD or other, until I had a part time job... And as far as I'm concerned my DVD's are here to stay. Only my fav's will get the upgrade to Blu. DVD quality is still very nice. |

Ow.
My mouth hurts. When it comes to my old media I keep it anyway. Nostalgia. |

Cyanoacrylate superglue has worked on VHS in my experience, at least for repairing broken ones. I don't find the argument for upgrading old anime material from DVD to BluRay nearly as compelling as the argument for upgrading from VHS to DVD. Maybe the theatrical anime has the additional detail waiting to be revealed, but the old broadcast anime is unlikely to. |

Fortunately, my wife & I bought a VCR/DVD about a year ago. Yes, we still record off TV & still have VHS tapes. Anything new we buy is obviously on DVD. In July or August, we plan to buy an LCD HDTV. Then the issues of upgrading to Digital Cable or FIOS (AT&T U-verse where I live) come up, plus the Blu-ray thing. Since she wants to move our old CRT TV to the bedroom, the VCR/DVD goes with it. Then we could hook a Blu-ray DVD or PS3 up to the HDTV. Depending on the costs of DVR... ARRGH! *sigh* Media conversions have more to do than VHS to DVD to Blu-ray... good to know that regular DVD's can be played on Blu-ray players... I Hope! As for Myoopi, that's a Smart... whatever. He knows what makes good candy... & it Ain't hard plastic!

The VHS fort was kinda cute. The last panel was just too painful to be funny...
