In modern electronics, things change fast, video technology especially. Home theaters began less than a generation ago with VCRs, which at the time were so big and so expensive you rented them as well as the movies! Today, there are a variety of machines: VCD players, DVD players, HD-DVD recorders and DVRs. Yet, the venerable VCR is not dead; in fact, newer technologies recognize the continuing popularity of the VHS VCR format by selling DVD-VCR combos.

Everyone knows that consumer electronics is gizmo driven--the "gizmo" being the newest toy with the newest features. It's a good thing Overstock.com is here to keep all of this stuff available at up to 70 percent off retail, or many people would never be able to afford their precious gizmos. Of course, some people don't buy the latest home electronics because they know the price will come down in a year or two. Well, after more than 20 years, VCR players are really inexpensive; likewise, a VHS player is proven, reliable technology. What's more, most people have finally figured out how to program VHS video equipment! Do you really want to go through that again?

If you must have that newest electronic gizmo, buy both. A DVD-VCR (or VCR-DVD depending on your perspective) makes a great gift to video tape collectors. They can keep their prized VHS tapes, which may be collector's items one day. With a dual-mode video player, they can also enjoy the latest and greatest that DVD players have to offer in video effects, special features and behind-the-scenes documentaries in those multi-disc special editions--probably almost as much as you enjoyed the clearance-sale-every-day prices you found at Overstock.com.
