That was a good price, we got a dvd and vcr combo unit last Christmas, got the extended versions of THE MOVIE parts I and II. I'll be getting Part III, can't believe an additional 50 minutes.
We still have some videos we like to watch. Have to admit we don't tape shows as much as we used to, maybe because there isn't that much to watch. :-)
We're thinking a nice BIG TV would be a great family gift! The kids could play Halo 2, and Dance Dance Revolution on it, and I could enjoy ROTK Extended on it, since that's gonna be what I'll ask for from the kids! I'm thinking I'll go for broke and ask them to get me the Deluxe version!! Woo Hoo!
I'm waiting for the budget to bear either--
--a dvd-r/vcr combo, with two-way dubbing capacity--
--or--
--what my cousin/roommate describes as a Tivo card (turns your 'puter into a DV recorder) in combination with a DVD-R drive.
My VHS collection-- and my multiplicitous VHS-C hme movies-- cry out for DVD action.
