The death of the video cassette recorder appears to be in sight after the UK’s largest electrical chain said it is to stop selling them.

Oh, and if anyone comes across “extreme theme.sis” in their travels I’d be interested if you could forward me a copy…

Stupid

They say the sales of VCRs have gone down as opposed to DVD players. Well yes, because everone has one, i.e. the market is saturated.
My main reason for having a video cassette recorder is to record things on TV. Standalone DVD and HD based recorders are still a lot more expensive.

Currently I have an VCR (for recording and watching videos) and a DVD player for watching films and before DVD/HD recorders come down to below the 80 quid mark (what I paid for my VCR at the time), they won’t be too popular.

Yes, there’s SkyPlus and TiVo etc. but those are expensive services as well and you can’t take a copy elsewhere (unless on VHS tape, of course).
