@UKFilmNerd I saw this. Can't imagine picking up new VHS cassettes, unless you still happen to have a player and it's an obscure title that isn't available on disc. I think it's funny that they recycled a tape from Green Acres.🙂 Me, I got rid of my VHS player years ago. I still have a few cassettes though-- such as the original Star Wars series.

    A couple of years ago, I found a copy of The Matrix on VHS in a charity shop. It must have been a special edition as it contained a little 5 minute making of feature after the film.

    It was a beautiful cardboard case with silver inlay and the tape was still sealed in plastic. I haven't had a VHS player for decades but I wish I'd bought it now just to put on a shelf.

    That sounds like the version I had, except mine was a DVD. Was it the Collector's Edition?

    Damn his background looks eerily like Technology Connections background. We still have a VCR. And some tapes but they are old and the quality isn't as great as dvd. But you know what I might start collecting them again. It be better than being stuck with all the different stresming services. Also they still make blank tapes just have to order them special.

    Well that's the Green Acres theme song right there.
