C'mon, if you're going forward in technology with a Blu-ray, why would you want to go backwards in wanting a VCR.

People still use VCR's?

Give it up man. There is no reason to combine the two technologies.
It's like looking for a brand new sports car that can also be pulled by a horse harness. Why?

I'm looking for something similar, A Betamax/HD-DVD player.

Yes but apparently only in Japan so far
Sharp Aquos BD-HDV22 http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/09/16/sharp-didnt-forget-vhs-now-marries-it-with-blu-ray/
Panasonic DMP-BR360V http://www.logictv.com/blog/2008/8/25/Weird_Blu_Ray___VCR_combo_1166.aspx

Probably other ones out there.

In reading reviews on DVD/VCR combos, I haven't seen too many re-assuring stories about copying the old VHS tapes to DVD.

Thanks! I hope those arrive in North America soon.

Can I ask where you find value in having them wired together inside one box, rather than having the Blu-Ray and VCR as separate devices and just hooking them together? Or, for that matter, over the alternative of hooking both up to a computer which records from one, allows edits, then feeds the other?
