Okay, I'm pissed.

So I figure I'll go by "Eight Mile" on video, it was released here on Tuesday.

And it's only available on DVD. WTF is that shit? I don't have a DVD player yet, holding out for the one that is a combined VCR/DVD since I have bazillions of VHS movies (not those kind pervs).

Why not on VHS as well? Seems there's quite a few coming out on one format only.

I'm sure not EVERYONE has a DVD Player. Or do they and I'm just the last person in the world to figure it out??

yep, the industry dictates the format changes...

I have a drawer full audio cassettes that never see the light of day...

ah well...

morning oh Blue one

 

[LadyG]

Yep, kinda like the whole CD thing.

**Sigh**

I have boxes of LP's (Vinyl records for the young 'uns) and cassettes, and now I have towers of CD's.

One thing that helped clinch my buying a Playstation 2 for the young one was its ability to play DVD's. They're pretty slick, too.

I'm usually slow to get the latest tech fad.

I'm in the process of up grading to DVD's myself. I have a lot of VHS, no porn, the wife tossed them.

DVD players are cheap. You only need the cheapest one to enjoy a movie. They are around $70 in the States.

Right watch it? Get ideas? I think she didn't want the teenage boy to find and watch them. Like that never happened. I walked in on a party he and a bunch of his guy freinds and they were watching it and........

No I didn't look. hehehe

 

[LadyG]

I was going to say, maybe she was afraid you'd wear something out??

I'd have to use it to wear it out.

 

[LadyG]

Oh. Hmm. Sorry

 

[bknight2602]

Oh. Hmm. Sorry

Now what good VHS do you have?

 

[LadyG]

**Says in best Soup Nazi voice**

No Porn for YOU!!!

 

[bknight2602]

Right, but what movies do you have?

What kind do you like Chick flics?

 

[LadyG]

I think I may have 2 chick flicks, total. Ghost and Grease.

Face Off, Patriot Games, Broken Arrow, Escape from New York, Escape from LA, (a lot of Kurt Russell...drrool), Air Force One, ..

I'm more into action/suspense/mystery/comedy than chick flicks.

 

[bknight2602]

I like the action stuff myself, Sci Fi, and comedy.

 

[LadyG]

I know you like "action stuff"

 

[bknight2602]

Does it show? I thought I was transparent! hehe

Hi LadyGuinivere,
I was going to buy Black Hawk Down for my dad as a Christmas gift this last Christmas. So I go into HMV and try to find it. Figured it would be easily visible. After looking for ages I finally ask the sales assistant. He tells me the same thing; only available on DVD. I started to question him WHY it wasn't on VHS and he just shook his shoulders. Then he checked his computer and said it wouldn't get out on VHS until later January/beginning of February!

I was so mad at the industry. Yeah, sure let it on VHS AFTER Xmas and have everyone get the DVD instead. Don't have one? Sure, we just happen to have a player for "sale".

My folks don't have a DVD player at home, but I got one in my laptop. For me it's convenient as I travel around. I am sure they'll get a player at some point though, but yep, would be great with a VHS/DVD combination.
