Nectar Entertainment has decided to discontinue production of VHS tapes for the United States market, noting that the bulk of their sales are already in DVD.
“95 percent of our sales are already DVD, so we’ve decided to leave the VHS market altogether and just release DVDs,” Sean Logan, president of Nectar, told AVN.com.
Nectar will continue to distribute their new titles in VHS format in foreign markets, although they anticipate that one-day, their will no need for the VHS format anywhere.
“You can get a DVD player for $60 nowadays. If they don’t have a DVD player yet, they’ll be getting one soon,” Logan said.
Marty Zion’s Space 2007, scheduled for a June release, will be the first title only available as a DVD. Their catalog titles will continue to be available in VHS format until existing tapes are sold off.
