So if you were poor there’d be tapes with 4.5 movies worth of terrible quality movies in order with one tape holding the first half of Hellraiser 2 and another holding the second half lol.
A five pack of blank tapes would be $20. So $20 essentially 700mb shitty cd sized video files for a movie. 4.5x5 = 30 movies at 700mb. 30x.700 = 21gb of storage.
A platter drive currently gets about $7/tb if you’re going budget. $20 = ~3tb of storage.
142x the storage for the same price. And you can splurge on nice 1.4gb 1080p x265 rips instead. 3000/1.4= ~2143 movies for the same price lol.
E: Let’s not even get into the cost of renting first, and owning two vcrs lol.
the equivelent now is a 2TB ~ 8TB External Solid State Drive.
