Default VHS is officially dead

Yes, I know, the format has been practically dead for a few years now, but the last holdout has finally called it quits.

I guess all those white trash hillbillies living in trailers are gonna have to stop relying on the bargain bins to find new movies, and finally move onto DVD.

Pretty interesting article, regardless. Blu-Ray is exciting, maybe not as much as the jump from VHS to DVD since BD is similar in many ways to DVD - the jump in quality is massive. I'm watching "The Matrix" right now, and the video quality is astonishing.
