I'm with Matt on this one, all the way.

As a video retailer, I hear this argument every single day, and I have to say I'm astounded that there's anyone out there still defending/in preference of the VHS format.

If a fuzzy, dark, grainy image is preferrable, then I suppose VHS is the one to stick with. I personally prefer digital clarity, allowing me to view films as they were intended to be seen. I also can't watch movies if they're not in their theatrical widescreen. Knowing I'm seeing only slightly better than half of the movie is abhorrent to me.

Extras, for me, are actually the least significant aspect of DVD's superiority. I rarely get around to watching them.

Anyway, this argument is entirely moot. VHS's days are numbered, and I'm counting. :)
