Because VHS won't last.

Already stores like Circuit City (I think) are phasing out sales of VCRs and VHS tapes.

And VHS tapes don't last forever, either (10 years is pretty good for a tape that's watched semi-regularly).

Unless, of course, you have a phatty video-in card that you can use to convert your VHS tapes to AVI or MPEG.

I totally agree with you speedracer...one of the most important reasons why i don't like vhs is that they dont last much...every time you watch it, it slowly decreases its quality...besides, my vcr isnt working very well so it's a mess to tape something, i can't even watch a tape, because the screen jumps, but that might be a tv problem, not a vcr problem, and in a dvd or avi/mpg, you can choose which ep to watch easily, with a tape you need to fast forward or rewind untill you find the ep you wanted to watch...that doesn't bothers me so much but still, i think it's kind of annoying.
The only reason why i taped stuff from tv is because i want to capture it when i have a video capturing card...
So if they would release the whole series in vhs...i wouldn't buy it...if i can't buy the dvd set, then there's less chance i'd buy a vhs one.But anything that they release would be cool anyways, i guess, because there may be people that doesn't have a dvd player, so they could get the vhs...and then there'd be people that doesnt have a dvd player but they have a vcr...or maybe they have both but they couldn't get any eps

also VHS is being phased out. DVD has better sound, better picture...Plus they could always put some extra material on it.
At the very least they could just release an episodes only DVD. I think it would be a good idea to release some Turtle DVDs near the premiere of the new toon or sometime after that .

Oh yeah, another good thing the dvd has...audio and sound...its difference with the vhs is too big...in a dvd, video is usually clear...and the audio, they can put dolby or whatever they want in a dvd..and vhs has some mixed colors, audio isnt very good...sometimes video is fuzzy...some vhs aren't used or haven't been watched too much, those aren't too bad in video and sound, but still, they're not as good as a dvd...plus they will eventually decrease it's quality =[
I dont mind about the extras, but i guess they cant put much extras in a vhs...only video extras
edit: i forgot about subtitles and audio tracks!If a vhs has subs, maybe that's a good thing if you don't understand the original languaje, but if you do, it can be kind of annoying...in a dvd you can choose various subtitles...or none if you want..it even have different languages to listen it in...I always thought those 2 features were pretty good and useful.

Also remember that VHS pictures have pretty limited resolution (i.e., they look terrible on your 30" TV).

Yeah...by the way, the tmnt movies 2 and 3 dvds came out 2 days ago...go buy em, [burne]go go go go[/burne]
They've already released tmnt 2 dvd ripped in divx ( http://isonews.com/release.php3?releaseid=60394 ) but i already have that one in cristal clear quality...so i think ill just wait for the tmnt 3 dvd rip, the copy i have is a low quality vhs rip
DVDs are too expensive, i agree...they should make em less expensive!yes! if each dvd is around 10-20 bucks...then a set of the tmnt cartoon...it's probably going to be around 50 dvds for 193 eps...
50 x 10...$500??!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! *faints*

I heard that the new TMNT DVDs are going for around ten dollars at places like Wal-Mart and K-Mart. I don't know if that's true, though...

Am I the only one here who hopes they release all the episodes at once, instead of releasing seasonal DVD sets? I'm just worried that if they go by season, they'll never get every episode onto DVD. Something will happen, production will be halted, and that will be it.

I'd be happy with only the 1st season...a complete set would be nice, but i couldn't afford it...or perhaps even find it

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan. The reason I think they should relese 2 DVD set, set 1 seasons 1-5, and set 2 seasons 5-10, is exactly the point nicko brought up. If they relesd one giant set of all the TMNT episoedes it would be very very expensive! I don't think relesing a season a year is practical though, but with 2 sets the cost will, well shoulkd be, cut in half for each set.
