Movie fans opting for DVDs
Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
VHS is getting a taste of its own medicine. The format that brought down Beta Max is quickly being replaced by the better quality DVD.
Scott Roberts, Arma sophomore, said the sharper images and more distinctive sounds of DVDs were reasons he preferred discs instead of tapes.
"They look better, sound clearer and last longer," he said. "They have more options. They are just cooler."
Megahn Snyder, shift supervisor at Blockbuster, 1516 W.23 St., said the extra features available on DVDs were another reason movie fans were watching DVDs instead of VHS cassettes.
"DVDs have scenes you can go directly to," she said. "Almost all of them have extras like outtakes and different endings, and on most you can watch the movie with director commentary."
Blockbuster recently expanded its DVD section by about 150 discs to include movies more than four years old, Snyder said. She said this was the beginning of an effort to phase out dated VHS tapes.
Snyder said video stores were also pushing DVDs because they were less expensive than VHS tapes.

"It's cheaper to make a DVD," she said. "They are also cheaper for us to buy. There are some DVDs that cost as little as $20 each, and there are some movies on VHS that are close to $100 a tape."

The cost of DVDs is much lower than VHS tapes were when they made their debut in the early 1980s, said John Fackler, multimedia supervisor at Borders Books and Music, 700 New Hampshire St.
"You can buy a DVD for $14 to $24 now, whereas when VHS came out, the tapes were $70 each." he said. "That is why video rental stores became so popular, because movies were

too expensive to buy."
Fackler said DVDs made up about half of the movie section last year. Now DVDs make up about 90 percent of it, he said.
DVDs are taking over the movie section at Borders, Fackler said. He said its DVD section expanded greatly in the past year and has doubled since Christmas.
