So true. (And it's the same with computers - a new system is already obsolete by the time you get it home and set it up. (Which is why I build my own and upgrade as new components are released.))
But when it comes to VCR/DVD combos, they seem to be a disappearing breed, so if anyone is thinking of getting one, I wouldn't wait too long. And if you want to use it to record TV programs as well as copy VHS to DVD, be sure that the unit comes equipped with an ATSC tuner or that you have a cable box or else you won't be able to record anything.
