I dont live for my tv. I got better things to spend my money on.
With a standard tv, I really dont notice the difference between dvd
and vhs, as long as they work properly. All I want to do is watch a
movie once and awhile and dont want to have to press any bottons
except the PLAY button. Yeah, vhs has its drawbacks too, especially
rewinding, but the newer vcrs did that automatically too. Now with
dvd we're back to all the buttons. Show me a movie, not a menu.
If i want a menu, I'll push menu.
