If I happen to come across a shrinkwrapped $5 DVD version of a
film that I may still have on VHS, then maybe I'll buy it. But
I wouldn't spend $20+ on a DVD version.
I can count the VHS movies that I own on two hands. And, I'm in
no hurry with more conversions. If I'm in a mood to watch one
of those VHS movies since having acquired the DVR HDD machine,
I'll start the recording process and watch the HDD version.
And if I need to recover space on the HDD, I'll burn the film
to DVD.
