    YES.

    I mostly use VHS becuase, we can't afford Blu Ray and DvDs are to easily ruined. With 7 kids in the house we usually get to watch out Dvds once before they are unusable.

    VHS lasts forever!
    xD

    (Assuming you don't do something stupid to it >.<)

    • Still on DVD. We've got HD TV's and moniters, but no Blu ray discs or player. Also waiting for HD TV too.. UK is really behind :X, especially since they're starting to bring out 1600p televisions out.

    720p and 1080p are all that are relevant.

    • Not really. 720p isn't any good. 1280 x 720 isn't a high enough resolution for some of the TV sizes today (Which is why normal TV looks even more awful). 1080p should and eventually will be the standard, with 1600p (2560 x 1600) well on the way as the next installment of high definition. We've had computer displays at 1600p for quite a while now, it was only a matter of time until TV's started to follow. There isn't any 1600p content now, but there will be in a few years, and blu ray will become as cheap and easy as DvD is now.

    720p is what the majority of HDTV channels broadcast on. That, or 1080i ~ which 720p sets can render just fine. So yes, 720p is quite relevant and perhaps even moreso than 1080p as far as content is concerned. And you'll axshaully find 2560x1600 is not a 16:9 aspect ratio and thus will not find a strong foothold in the television arena :3 Infact, "1600p" isn't even a ratified HDTV resolution~

    I prefer Blu-Ray because, well, it's HD. Surely that's reason enough?
