Can you still rent VIDEOS?

[yvr girl]

Do movies come out on video anymore, or are they only on DVD?

1. I think only on DVD...

I can't remember the last time I've seen a video...

[yvr girl]

2. I haven't rented a movie in 3-5 years

I want to now, but I only have a VCR. Damn.

[Rising Phoenix]

3. you could probably get an older movie...

just maybe not the new releases...I'm not really sure

[yvr girl]

6. Maybe Santa will bring me one for Christmas

I've been fairly good.

12. Target sell great little dvd players for $38

13. We don't have Target in Canada

But they aren't that expensive here either. It's a perfect thing for my Christmas list.

4. blockbuster still rents vhs tapes...i think...

i keep waiting for 'raise the red lantern' to come out on dvd but it's taking forever, it's on vhs but our player took a dump :cry:

5. You can, but the offerings are getting less and less.

I think nowadays only the big movies (and Academy Award winners like "Million Dollar Baby") are coming out on videos. Everything else is only coming out on DVD...especially the independent films.

7. I think our local Blockbuster got rid of thiers

and Hollywood was selling them off when I was there last. When our vcr died last year I had a hell of a time finding a new one. I needed to replace it beacuse it was cheaper than replacing the movies we have on VHS, especially since some of the educational ones aren't on DVD.

8. Two words: Public Library....

If you're looking for VHS, they've got 'em. And, what seems interesting, ours continually has "new" videos. At our library, the videos and dvds are free for one week, with a limit of 4 (of either type or both) out at one time.

just so's ya know

9. I'll have to check that out

I don't have a bad record with the Vancouver Library system, so they might even let me borrow something.

10. Some grocery stores still have them

though like others have said the title selection is not the greatest.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

11. My Blockbuster has about 30

but it stopped getting new titles about 6 months ago.

14. I rented "The Longest Yard" from my neighborhood video store

I saw a couple copies on VHS for most all New Movies.

15. Movie Gallery still has VHS tapes, even of new releases.
