That's not a disadvantage at all. If it's not a disadvantage, it's not worth points. "Still uses a VCR", not a legitimate quirk for me. My mom still uses a VCR, but she also uses a DVR, DVDs, and BlueRay, as well as streaming video.

"Won't use optical or digital media" or "Keeps talking about his Betamax" are both good alternatives. The first quirk cuts the character off from Youtube, news streamed over the internet, and missions delivered by optical disk. The second quirk doesn't prevent the character from using more common media, but they're mildly annoying and give a -1 to reaction penalties sometimes.
