Good news for VCR repairers ?

Dixons (major UK electricals retailer ) will be no longer stocking VCRs
from
6 months henceforeward. Other countries retailers doing the same ?
Have I missed something along the way and individual writable DVD discs
can
now be re-written to hundreds of times like VCR tapes ?

They're getting less and less common, but they're still available, they're
just even more cheaply made. I doubt it'll be the end of the "buy a new one"
thing, they're not selling them as much because people aren't buying them
because everyone's gone to the even more disposeable DVD players.
