The last VHS tape I bought was just 4-5 years ago, off Ebay no less. It was "The Double Life of Veronique", which did not have a DVD release at that time, but I wanted to see it again, and that was that. About 2 years later, a region 2 (PAL, no less) DVD version finally showed up, and I bought that version as well because I just like the film and it was finally on DVD. Then the region 1 version finally become a reality via the Criterion Collection, and I also bought that one, why? Just because I could, finally. Plus, it made me less reliant on my region-free playback solution in case it went tango-uniform.
Some films, you take what you can get at the time you want it. I did that with Blade Runner, too, except I have no idea where my VHS copy of it went, but I know where my Criterion LD (CAV), DVD, and BD versions of it are. Hell, I may even pick up a HD DVD version of BR if I can get a good deal on it, just because.
