Do they make a Blu-Ray/VCR combo?
I tried Google, but results indicated no such device exists, other than a Panasonic Blu Ray which plays VHS tapes but is not a recording VCR.
Anyone know of one? Not a regular DVD, looking for the Bluray combo.
Thanks!
It makes sense to me, the same reason I bought a DVD/VCR combo. My kids have a boat load of tapes that I don't want to (or can't) replace. So it might not make sense for tech savvy 20-somethings with a growing collection of blurays, but it does for some of us. Cmon Sony, throw me a bone here.

No vcr is gone for good
You can get a vcr and a blu ray and stack them plus you can connect them together if you want to record from one to the other

No.
VHS tapes are 280 lines of video.
DVD disks are 480 lines of video.
Both of these can be sent to your TV with a yellow composite cable.
BluRay outputs 1080 lines of video so you would have to run 2 cables from such a device to your HDTV. The first thing people complain about when they hook up their first HDTV is how crappy the video looks. This is because 480 lines of video came about in 1948. So DVD's carry the video standard from seventy years ago. Imagine how crappy VHS will look on a modern high res display.
Put an old standard def TV in the kids room with the VCR.

No. You do not see VCR being produced by all the major manufacturer and this goes for DVD player also. Hope this will help you out.
