There have been a number of combined VHS and DVD players as well as several VHS and DVD recorders. The combination was a convenient one for playing both formats from a single unit or for transferring VHS to a more robust and future-proof format.
The market for combined VHS and Bluray players is far smaller. The customers who are now buying Bluray players are generally the same people who invested in DVD technology some years ago and have moved away from VHS already.
VHS is of course a standard definition format. Recording it onto a Bluray disc will not enhance the quality and it certainly won't turn the VHS content into HD.
For these reasons, it makes little commercial sense for a manufacturer to produce a VHS and Bluray combination. While it is impossible to predict what each manufacturer might do in the future, it is safe to say that a combination player is very unlikely.

When Shopping For a VCR, Consider a DVD/VCR Combo?
In just a few short years, the VCR has gone from being the king of the home theater to being a piece of antiquated technology. Devices like DVD players and digital video recorders have made the VCR all but obsolete. However, there are people out there that still have a VHS tape library, though, and those people probably still want to be able to watch their old tapes. You can easily and cheaply add a VCR to your home theater setup. You can find a cheap VCR just about anywhere, especially online at sites like Pebble.com. Since VCRs are becoming so outdated, the demand has gone way down, and as demand goes, so go prices. So, you’ll be able to find a standard VCR for as little as $10 through the internet. Another option that you may want to pursue, though, is a relatively new idea that electronics companies have been using to spice the VCR up. This option is the DVD/VCR combo unit. While being the same size as a standard VCR, the DVD/VCR combination unit combines both a DVD player and a VCR, allowing you to utilize new technology, while still being able to watch those old VHS tapes that you stocked up on throughout the past couple years. The DVD/VCR combo units are obviously going to be more expensive than your standard VCR, but the increase in price is definitely worth the investment. You’ll be able to get a lot more use out of a DVD/VCR combo than you will out of just a standard VCR. Also, you’ll have more room in your home theater space to expand for other new technologies, like a BluRay player. No matter which way you go, though, you’ll be able to pull out your old VHS tapes and watch the movies that you love. It all just depends on your taste, your budget and how much room you have in your home theater setup.
