Great Scott! VHS is back!

Well… sort of.

HMV is releasing a range of Blu-rays housed within limited edition VHS packaging. The VHS range includes classic VHS-style outer cases, a Blu-ray & DVD copy of a film, a fold out poster, a bubblegum car and a sticker!

Twevle titles will be included within the retro set – presumably more will follow if this idea proves popular.
