Replacing Your Collection

[Despare]

Alright, so I have a TON of DVDs and soon we'll see the blu-ray and hddvd formats. When dvd came out I rplaced most of my VHS with DVDs because of how long they'll last but since I take exceptional care of my DVDs they'll last pretty much as long as I will. Anyway, will you replace you dvds with the new format or no? Did you replace your VHS tapes? Just curious because I don't think I will. I know they'll hold like twenty times the data but with all the extras I can't see what they'll add that I'll actually be interested in and with upconvert dvd players I'm fine with my current DVD resolutions on my HDTV. Another bummer is packaging will probably suffer because TV Seasons will only be one or two discs and look like normal DVD cases which IMO is kind of boring. Just looking for opinions.

I didn't replace any of my VHS's and won't replace my DVD's. By the way, what's with having new formats? Just stick with what we've got! I don't feel like changing again!

[Despare]

Well the new ones will have tons more space and higher resolutions. That way when Dolby 12.2 comes around there will be space for the audio.

I can't imagine replacing my DVDs. Ain't gonna happen......even if i had the money.

I ain't that geeky to bother changing an entire collection

[Despare]

Yeah, I just like the movies, only reason I replaced VHS is because they get old and stretched out and they all got pretty crappy on me.

[Elvis_Christ]

VHS is more reliable but it takes more care and you need decent equipment.

the players should be backwards compatable, so there won't be much need for replacing all of them
