I never bought pre-recorded VHS (or Beta) tapes at all, except for a few music-video ones. Tape recorders (video or audio) were always for making your OWN recordings to me; discs (laser, vinyl, or others) were the way to buy movies and music, no comparison.
My last VHS purchase was a brand-new Panasonic Hi-Fi VCR that I gave my mother for Christmas in 2004. That machine cost maybe $60 or $70 new, and it set EVERYTHING by itself (antenna versus cable, scan for channels, self-set clock from over-the-air signal) when I first plugged it in, without even going into any menus if I remember right.
