I've been collecting movies since I was about 13, so close to 20 years. There are lots of reasons I wouldnt give up my VHS collection. Main reasons for keeping my VHS include:

Trailers, I fucking love trailers. :cool:
Movies that I can't get on DvD because they were never released
Nostalgia
Lots of mediocre movies I don't like enough to replace, but want to keep.

I could transfer them all to my computer or something like that, but I have, probably well over 1k videos so I'd rather not bother. :rolleyes:

I think psychologically I just prefer putting a video on to watch too. I guess its the child in me, but it feels like more of an event when I look through my VHS collection than if I look through the film library on lovefilm (UK netflix equivilant).

That said, I mostly only buy DvD's now, quality is better and there are almost always great extras thrown in too.
