The first Doctor Who VHS to come out was in 1983 and that retailed at £40, which works out at £120.50 in todays money.

I remember going into a video shop around the same time when ET was released to rent and they were selling copies to buy at £80.

I'm not sure any film is worth £240 no matter how good it is.

This technology's quite ancient.

It pretty hard to break dance to Love & Rockets and Bob Mould, but maybe I could have done better if I didn't wear so much denim at the time.

I had a walkman. I'd try to jam the thing in my pocket when I went for walks.I'd also carry a backpack with a couple CDs. Never again.

Great thread. I did the CD player in pocket thing :D. I remember around 1999/00 everybody had a Gameboy Color and played Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, I never had one and used to play on my mate's ones. Always wanted to play that.

This was my first games console, I got it about 1997, second hand. It had Castle of Illusion (Mickey Mouse) on it, and a game you didn't need a cartridge to play, called Alex Kidd.

I can't even remember my first console.

It was around 1981/82 and was one of those generic ones you bought from a Littlewoods catalogue and had generic games like Space Invaders, Black Jack, Some maze game, Galaxians, Breakthru and Pong.

The thing I remember most was how hot it got quickly and how I was never allowed to use it because by the time I got home from school & set it up my Dad would come home & want to watch the TV.
I think I barely had it a year before it fried, I must have got at least 24 hours use out of it altogether. Thankfully my Grandfather bought me this not long after it died.....

My Walkman had a clip so I could hook it on the outside of my pocket. :p:

My first electronic game device, a soviet knock-off of the Nintendo Game & Watch, where you had to catch eggs rolling down from four hen's nests.
