Like ShankS said, VHS tapes were expensive and had no real time frame for when they would be released. I purchased my first VHS machine around 81 or 82. I remember well the first movies I purchased were Halloween and Friday the 13th part 2. They cost me around $60-70 for the pair.

My first machine was a Betamax. It had an awesome remote control that plugged in to the machine. We didn't get a VHS machine until the mid-to-late 80's.
