The space thing is definatley a factor! There's a lot of sentimentality involved with VHS for me too (the covers/versons of the film). I'm happy with owing a bunch of stuff on VHS and probably won't bother picking it up on DVD but I've found myself picking up favorite films if there cheap. But yeh diggin' on that a few are like a whole new movie.
and re: the price of new release DVDs most run close $40 over here and come out several months after they've been released for rental. Fuckin' lame. Ends up easier and cheaper buying from overseas or trading with other collectors.
