What do I do with my old VHS? Will there ever be a cheap and easy way to convert them to DVD? Or will they become obsolete too?

there are machines that write dvd's... you can burn them onto dvd and than sell them to a cd shop that buys back tapes and vhs... than you can get rid of them while making a quick $$

Like all the other answers above you can buy a machine that will transfer them. VCR DVD burner combo.
However, your VHS tapes will most likely out last any burned DVD. A burned DVD has a 2 to 5 year life span. An industry dirty little secret. So put them on DVD for convenience but keep your old VHS tapes for subsequent re-burnings.

There are dual systems: a VCR plus a DVD Recorder.
That´s the easiest way to copy you tapes to DVD.
And no need to complicate yourself with connections.
