IDK why, but for some reason it seems amazing how long the VHS format lasted (from the 70s to around 2006). My family didn't have a DVD player until about 2005.

The digital tv switchover was probably the last nail in the coffin. Part of the format's popularity was the ability to record anything you wanted off of tv, and keep that recording. Now people fret over their DVR running out of space.

Only because our wives and girlfriends record every single Gilmore Girls and Today Show.
