I bought a major release on VHS
I just bought Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Extended Edition on VHS. It was half the price of the dvd and it was in Widescreen so I figured what the heck. Am I nuts? Anyone else done something like this?

Don't take this the wrong way... but I don't believe you. Running out of thread subjects?

i guess if it was pv'd somewhere for like 5 bucks and i was desperate, but this is the "DVD" talk forum, i'm surprised somebody hasnt totally wished you ill will so far, maybe it's the holiday spirit. Anyway, at least it was LOTR and not something like harold and kumar.

DVD Talk Gold Edition
What is this "Vee Aich Ess" of which you speak?
Seriously, I can see getting VHS on a title if it's not available on DVD and you have to have it (e.g. something like original Star Wars, etc.), but to me the VHS would be worth much less than half of the price of the DVD if available. I don't think I could stand that I couldn't jump to a favorite scene, no commentaries, subtitles, audio options, easter eggs, etc. Not to mention that the picture quality should be much, much, MUCH better than VHS unless the DVD is a mis-mastered disaster.
How many tapes was this anyway?
