VHS vs DVD

I love renting movies but recently I noticed I end up getting angrier than I used to when I do it. Sure DVD has better quality but the discs seems to scratch to easily and the machines tend to freeze or skip alot as well; even after cleaning the disc.
With a VHS they always worked really well for me; yes the rewinding and fastforwarding took awhile I couldn't just skip back or forward a scene or choose a scene to start with but I could enjoy a movie without yelling at the screen to move or play the darn movie.
The worst encounter I ever had with my VHS player was it ate one tape. I'm on the fence with what I like.
I think I prefer DVD's but the ease of getting through an entire movie without pauses with VHS always made me very happy.

  1. I like tapes because if you get interrupted you just pause it. You can even turn off the VCR and take out the tape and your spot is still there. With DVD's sometimes if you stop it, i'll save your spot, but even then, you can't turn off the DVD player.

    IDK I guess i'm on the fence. Those Blu Ray DVD's though, I think, are a waste of money.
