VHS has another advantage over DVD... it retains your last location. Yes, DVD does too, IF you put it in the same player, IF you haven't (in the interim) played more DVDs than your DVD player remembers, and IF ... with VHS you could take a movie half way through and then decide to finish it upstairs and pick up right where you left off.
That said, that's such a small advantage that it is overwhelmed by the rest, and this advantage is now lost to online streaming, which can do it even better.
