VHS finally goes the way of vinyl

For anyone still clinging to the VHS video format, this fall movie studios will prompt you to make the switch. 20th Century Fox and LucasFilm will release one the season's top sellers, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith on DVD format only. This will be the first major new release to bypass the VHS format. According to the latestVideo Business trade journal, Buena Vista Home Entertainment will be the most aggressive to eliminate VHS, phasing them out completely early next year. Their fall releases such as Dark Water, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Herbie: Fully Loaded will released on DVD only. Just a portent of things to come...
