VHS Officially Dead, Blu-Ray Showing Signs of Life
The death of VHS may be old news, but now the cassette format has officially been ejected from the movie market. According to the Los Angeles Times, the last major supplier of VHS tapes has shipped its final truckload, driven by Ryan J. Kugler out of a Palm Harbor, Florida warehouse to Who-Cares, USA.
"It's dead, this is it, this is the last Christmas, without a doubt," said Kugler, 34, a Burbank businessman. "I was the last one buying VHS and the last one selling it, and I'm done. Anything left in a warehouse we'll just give away or throw away."
Meanwhile, DailyTech reports that things might finally be looking up for Blu-ray with "signs of quantifiable success." The news outlet points out increased sales in the high definition format, such as in Britain where consumers bought 462,500 Blu-ray discs in November, an increase of 165 percent from October. Blu-ray's share of the optical disc market is expected to double in France next year, and Europe expects to account for 2.5 million Blu-ray player sales in 2009 without factoring in Playstation 3 console sales.

At the South Garage we have Three TV's and Two VCR's both are built into the TV's and guess what we don't have cable and they don't have digital capabilities. It's about to suck really bad at work. We have about a hundred movies that we have watched about a hundred times.
So company breakrooms and driver lounges everywhere are going to suck early next year.
However besides the impossibility of actually purchasing new movies in VHS flavor and the TV's being unable to recieve Digital signals over the air with no one willing to cough up money for cable or sat service it's going to be bleak.
I just won't be able to get any work done without TV to watch. Now all anyone is going to be able to do is sleep on the two leather couches. Man my job sucks. And you would think that the Union wouldn't let something this terrible happen to us.

VHS isn't dead yet. It's just off in the same area as vinyl records now.

Actually my local WalMart paid me five dollars to take a VCR. So yes it's pretty much dead.

Yah. As long as you can buy blank tapes, it's still alive.
Some people are oddly stubborn.

I should have gotten a combo unit so I can get rid of my vcr. It's older than my 17 yr old daughter!
