While it might be difficult to find a stand-alone VCR, fret not, VCRs are still available and come commonly paired with DVD players. A DVD/VCR combo unit is the best way to go when combining new and old technologies.
If you haven't fully made the transition from VHS tapes to DVDs, you can get a combo unit to slowly adjust to the change. You can watch both versions of video allowing you to choose whatever you prefer.
Getting a combo unit will also allow you to record VHS tapes, saving your old home video memories in digital form, keeping them safe for generations.
