VHS at CES 2009: Still alive (and photos to prove it)

Perhaps the rumors of the death of VHS were (somewhat) exaggerated. At least three top manufacturers still have combo VCRs in their product lines--one of which also includes a Blu-ray player.

Still smarting from HD DVD's loss, Toshiba announced no Blu-ray players for 2009. The company did, however, indicate that two new VHS/DVD recorders will arrive in the spring: the $180 DVR620 and the $250 DVR670. Specs weren't provided, but we're guessing that the 620 is tunerless and the 670 has a built-in ATSC tuner.
