Do you have a VCR or DVD player?
We have both, though we would only have a VCR if my brother hadn't given us a DVD player last year for Christmas.
Which do you like better? We don't have a big home theater system, so I really see no difference between the two.

We have both as well.
I prefer the DVD player but am too frugal to replace all my old video tapes with DVDS

We have 2 vcr's and 3 dvd players. My little one uses the vcr for his movies that he loves. The dvd players I got for the older two boys for Christmas. (Walmart for under $50) I have to say that I love my dvd player better because we have it hooked to the stereo and it makes watching a movie a better experience. I will not however go out and get all the movies that we have on dvd. I just don't get the vcr tapes anymore. It is dvd from now on.

We own both, but I prefer dvd's. They take up less space, last longer, have extras, and Gabe can watch them in French if he wants to. We curently buy about the same amount of dvd's as vhs tapes, but that's only because of the cost factor.

We have both, but we really enjoy the DVD player more because it has surround sound.

We have 3 VCR's and 2 DVD's. I prefer the DVD. I like all the extras they include and the less space they take up.
