As the Blu-ray format starts to gain motion in the home entertainment industry, an old format, VHS is winding down as the last big supplier of the tapes ditching the format, ending the long fade-out of a product that ushered in the home theater.
Pop culture is finally hitting the eject button on the VHS tape, the once-ubiquitous home-video format that will finish this month as a creaky ghost of Christmas past.
After three decades of steady if unspectacular service, the spinning wheels of the home-entertainment stalwart are slowing to a halt at retail outlets. On a crisp Friday morning in October, the final truckload of VHS tapes rolled out of a Palm Harbor, Fla., warehouse run by Ryan J. Kugler, the last major supplier of the tapes.
"It's dead, this is it, this is the last Christmas, without a doubt," said Kugler, 34, a Burbank businessman. "I was the last one buying VHS and the last one selling it, and I'm done. Anything left in warehouse we'll just give away or throw away."
The last major Hollywood movie to be released on VHS was "A History of Violence" in 2006. By that point major retailers such as Best Buy and Wal-Mart were already well on their way to evicting all the VHS tapes from their shelves so the valuable real estate could go to the sleeker and smaller DVDs and, in more recent seasons, the latest upstart, Blu-ray discs. Kugler ended up buying back as much VHS inventory as he could from retailers, distributors and studios; he then sold more than 4 million VHS videotapes over the last two years.
"The DVD will be obsolete in three or four years, no doubt about it. Everything will be Blu-ray," Kugler said, anticipating the next resident at his pop culture retirement home. "The days of the DVD are numbered. And that is good news for me."

According to Wired, the TVs will come in 32 and 42-inches and comes with a 'multiple slot loading rig for easy transitions between Blu-rays, DVDs and CDs.'
The new models will also get an integrated HDTV tuner, bottom-mounted speaker, with the Blu-Ray drive being unmountable if there is a need for repair.
The Aquos screens with built-in Blu-Ray drives will be on sale in the US right after its unveiling in CES. It is not known yet whether the product will be sold in Australia and how much it will cost.

A week after hitting store shelves, the Blu-ray release of Warner Brothers 'The Dark Knight' has sold over 1.7 Million units worldwide, shattering all previous Blu-ray sales records. The film, which stars Christian Bale as the caped-crusader, is set to break $1 Billion at the box office, and some execs feared that home video sales would be hurt by such success. Those fears were alleviated after selling through 600,000 Blu-ray units on the first day, and sales of the landmark title have been continuing at a record pace.
The worldwide numbers include retail and rental sales in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Benelux, and Australia. The majority of sales came from US buyers, which bought over 1 Million units of the title. Blu-ray sales represented nearly 13% of all home media sales for the title, which sold 13.5 Million units on home video formats.
In comparison, 'The Matrix' DVD release in 1999 - which is generally recognized as the title to spark sales of the format - sold 780,000 units in one week. The Blu-ray release of 'The Dark Knight' has more than doubled that accomplishment.
Blu-ray has been recognized as one of the most wanted items this holiday season, and consumers are responding aggressively towards lower player prices and the high definition releases of many film favorites. Interest in the format has exploded as consumers budgets become tighter and they realize they can get the same or better movie watching experience in their home with Blu-ray for a lot less money.

Craig McLachlan is the face of the latest major TV campaign for Sony Australia, informing consumers that a HDTV alone isn’t enough. The campaign has been designed to increase awareness of Blu-ray as the ultimate high definition source for home entertainment.
McLachlan’s tagline is “what a waste” when he finds out he is watching standard definition content without a Blu-ray player and encourages consumers to make the most out of their high definition TV with accompanying equipment like a Blu-ray player.
“HD represents 99.9% of all value sales in the LCD TV category, so consumers are certainly embracing high definition when it comes to choosing their flat panel TV,” Sony Australia head of strategy and brand development, Toby Barbour said.
“However, many consumers are watching standard definition movies through their DVD player on their HDTV, which doesn’t deliver the best image and sound quality possible. We want to ensure that consumers are making the most out of the amazing image and sound quality high definition delivers, by ensuring that their HDTV set is matched with the best quality source – a Blu-ray player,” he added.
Campaign supports new product launch
The TVC was first aired on Channel Ten on Sunday and the campaign runs in conjunction with the release of two new Sony Blu-ray players to the Australian market. According to Sony the new players incorporate new interactive features that take the movie experience beyond what cinemas can offer.
