I remember when my family moved house several years ago and we had a garage sale where we sold the VHS copy of The Lion King we had. Even though it was before I really fell for the movie, I was still quite disappointed to see it go, even though we didn't even have a VHS player to watch it with! When we got the Diamond Edition, I was very happy indeed!
While I understand the sentimental value behind a VHS version, strictly speaking, it is also the worse in terms of watching experience. I will give the VHS one thing going for it: The box needs to be big to hold the VHS, which means that there is plenty of room for very nice looking artwork on the spine. I always enjoy great media that comes in very nice boxes, which is why I am not the biggest fan of digital media. Sure, digital is convenient, but there is no pretty box to look at as well.
