LittlePinky82 1,303 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Lmao. I still have a DVD/VCR and a ton of VCRs that still work. These video's are amusing and remind me how old I am lol. *preparing to feel old af* I remember when DVDs were just starting to get popular... Lol I remember when VCRs used to be expensive. My family didn't have one for a long time because of that so my Mother couldn't record my favorite cartoon for me and I just had to wait for the next day to watch it lol.

Dimples 77 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 To be fair most of these kids are like 10 and 10 years ago the VCR was already being outdated by the DVD. Mine is just collecting dust. I still remember going to Blockbuster and renting games and movies. Always a bitch tho when some movies weren't rewinded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go out with my family Sat night and then stop by the Blockbuster and rent a movie or game and you'd take it back Monday night lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberDuckyTai 2,731 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I still remember learning non-linear editing in college. Ah, when I tell my students that I learned to edit VHS and Beta on decks, along with what is now digital editing, they look so puzzled by it. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hainan Chicken 262 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 They were my asian drama life blood, mind you everything was viet dubbed. Before everything was online I remember going with my sisters to rent like 50+ of them at once and walking out like we robbed a bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnie-chan 1,338 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 When I was little I watched vhs and dvds. I only miss being able to watch vhs because some shows were only on vhs! But there's always the internet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what made me sad to see it go bankrupt because of the nostalgia Aw yes. Sometimes we would Fri nights but generally we'd go to this particular restaurant and the movie store was across the street so during dinner you'd be like "dadddddd I wanna rent a movie" (or game) and by the end of supper you got to go across the street for the game and you'd buy some candy. It was a really fun part of child hood and I'm sad children of today won't get to experience it in the same way. The quality is definitely better but I miss that. They even had dvds up until the end lol. When Blockbuster was going out the one down the road had a huge buy out of the whole store (even furniture stuff lol) and I found some awesome deals.

I think that's what made me sad to see it go bankrupt because of the nostalgia I was really sad when Blockbuster refused to expand into the online market until waaaaay too late. They could've been a serious competitor for Netflix and gamefly all in one, but nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I only see them as an ON DEMAND service and a free trial if you sign up with Dish Network but why would you with Netflix and Amazon or Red box? I've never tried Gamefly and not sure if they even have it here in Canada. But I agree if that type of service was combined with movie rentals/streaming they really could've been on top.
