As I said on an earlier thread, I was puzzled by Saul's watching his old cheesy commericals on a VHS tape. Even in 2006, who was watching VHS?

I wonder why Gilligan used that approach?

I think a VHS tape was used in that scene in order to make it easier for the audience to quickly identify the media as a one-off custom recording and not a mass market DVD release. It fits the story’s time frame better also.
