Can chime in here on a legitimate reason. Some people are still broke as shit. My nieces watch VHS tapes of Disney movies &amp; Don Bluth movies when at my mom's house because my mom, nearing 50 and working a barely above minimum wage job, simply cannot afford a Blu-Ray player (A $50-$100 investment) nor the extra Blu-Rays (most Disney films are sold at a premium of $20+) She can afford $.50 tapes or $1.00 DVDs at garage sales but Blu-Rays are out of the question. For more recent movies she has a library card and DVD player and waits for the library to get the newer films in stock since theater-going is usually out of the equation as well.

A good VHS player and well-preserved tapes (not worn down terribly by 20 years of watching and rewatching) still offer perfectly acceptable video and audio quality since the *stories* are what really matters and she's not looking to blow out her surround sound speakers and is not interested in super crisp HD video - she just wants to be entertained and wants to entertain her grandchildren, and VHS still serves that purpose.
