I saw this. Can't imagine picking up new VHS cassettes, unless you still happen to have a player and it's an obscure title that isn't available on disc. I think it's funny that they recycled a tape from Green Acres.๐ Me, I got rid of my VHS player years ago. I still have a few cassettes though-- such as the original Star Wars series.
A couple of years ago, I found a copy of The Matrix on VHS in a charity shop. It must have been a special edition as it contained a little 5 minute making of feature after the film.
It was a beautiful cardboard case with silver inlay and the tape was still sealed in plastic. I haven't had a VHS player for decades but I wish I'd bought it now just to put on a shelf.
That sounds like the version I had, except mine was a DVD. Was it the Collector's Edition?
Searching for images, I think it was this one.
The sticker just about matches what you said. Thanks for following up!
I haven't had a VHS since 1999
