I chose both. I would have picked the combo, but I have one in my living room, and it takes a while to rewind on the VHS part. I like VHS, probably more than DVDs. I used to be a tape-aholic, but I stopped taping a lot back in November/December. I have so many tons of tapes, I can't keep track of them, and I'm think of throwing them out, and starting fresh. VHS is easier to work than DVDs, IMO. But DVDs are cool for watching movies, since they are so fancy, and they make you feel special, LOL. So, yeah, both.
