I still use my Panasonic PV-4022 VCR, but not nearly as much these days since getting a DVD player (an LG BP-220) several years ago; my DVD collection is becoming almost (but nowhere near, yet) as large as my VHS collection. If I can find the DVD versions of shows I presently have on VHS, I will get the DVD.
Eventually, I will retire the VHS player, but not as long as it works and I still have my VHS collection. I have many videocassettes, mostly of old TV series and some movies from the 1950s through the '80s. VCRs still have uses if you have old VHS tapes; the only thing you can't do anymore with them, due to the change from analog to digital video in 2009, is record TV shows off the air. VHS video is all but obsolete, DVDs having taken center stage by now. I read somewhere (don't recall where) that even DVDs are on the way out, but what their replacement will be I don't know at this point.
Time marches on.
