VHS NO MORE
Best Buy phasing out video

Totally committing to DVD, Showbizdata reports that BEST BUY will completely phase out VHS product with a clearance sale of videocassettes.

"What we are doing now is selling out what we have in-store, and when that is gone, then we're going to be directing all VHS purchases to our Web site bestbuy.com. ... " said company spokesman Brian Lucas to Video Store magazine. "Our Web site has had a much larger selection of VHS for a while. We're keeping that going because we still see some demand for VHS, and we want to accommodate our customers. ... By the end of the month, it's safe to say we'll be transitioned."
