With the launch of Season 4 of Stranger Things we are being treated to another 80s nostalgic moment. With one TV in the house and no such thing as the Interweb families would argue over which video to rent at the local Blockbuster down the road. We were lucky considering we were raised in a medium sized town with two video tape rental stores within 2 minutes walk. The local Blockbuster and the small independently owned convenience store who rented tapes as well as toilet roll and newspapers (whatever they are).
Stranger Things nostalgia with a family video store
If we really loved a movie then we could buy it to watch again and again. If you have paid over £500 ($800) for a video player then you want to make use of it. Our family owned over 100 VHS video tapes. Classics like Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, and our very first rental, Apollo 13.
An event as epic as your very first video tape rental, bringing home that epic movie everyone is excited about, is something people around in the 80s and 90s will remember with a tingling sensation. Netflix and YouTube don’t have the same feeling as walking to the video store, having waited all week for Friday night, hoping that you will see spare copies of Jurassic Park on the shelf, that the last copy wasn’t rented 10 minutes ago and all that is left on the shelves just doesn’t interest you.
VHS Tapes to DVD Conversion at oriondvd.co.uk
So if you or your parents have Video Tapes that are unused then show them a little love and have them digitised with us. We can transfer them to DVD discs or to a USB memory stick. You can then watch them on your TV or computer, upload them to google drive, YouTube, Facebook, and even save them to your phone next to memes and years of selfies. Old video tapes don’t need to lie unloved, give them a new lease of life at Orion Media.
