I have a huge collection of both, and there is no way in hell I could afford to replace anything. I will still be watching my VHS when IM 90!

they haven't stopped with vhs, mainstream stuff can still be picked up new on vhs...how long for though, I wouldn't know. Even though some stores don't stock vhs anymore.
Also I doubt they'd drop dvd's once the 'format war' between hd and blu-ray has been decided, for quite some time. The current dvd format is still far to popular. The average viewer won't want to fork out more for new gear to play the next format, as they'll be happy with dvd quality pq and sound. It'll be the the hardware enthusiasts who'll take up most of the sales in new players. Give it a couple of years or more, after the new formats decided and released, before you see the average home user replacing hardware.
