While DVD is a clear winner and I have almost never bought any VHS
tapes in my life - I have purchased two - even on special order -
this past year - as the content was not available on any other
format at all.  And these were fairly recent though niche market
productions.

Having the content - even if it is on a poor format - is better
than not having it at all IMO.
