I bought my first VCR in 81-82. They had Betamax, or VHS, they also had laser discs but they were not that popular. The things weighed like 30-40# and like you said cost around $1000, and for a wireless remote you had to pay extra. You had to sign contracts and pay membership fees to rent movies, and the selections were not that great. Wow I feel so old...
