    HD DVD's for rent

    There's a law that protects video stores called THE FIRST SALE DOCTRINE. Meaning that a video store like mine can go to Walmart, buy 20 copies of SICKO or PLANET TERROR, and rent them to customers. The exclusive is BS. Netflix has them and I think MG has them. I definitely have them! marc...

    SCTV deal ... Dollar General (Vol. 4 YMMV)

    Just to update this, during a trip through rural Tennessee last week I found SCTV box sets at ALL of the Dollar General Markets I went to, NOT the regular stores. The Markets are supermarket combos and are more modern and larger than most Dollar General. marc

    high netflix numbers .... 80K to 125K of each movie 450K members??

    I thought that Netflix has about 4 million subscribers. Wall Street is all ga-ga over Netflix, but from what I understand they have yet to turn a profit. They charge too low a price, then shipping and advertising eat up what profit there could be. Plus they lose a TON of people each month who...

    funny gamerush story I got the "letter"

    I don't why anybody is defending BBV on their policies. I feel that they brought it on themselves. They came onto the dvd/game trading scene a year or two ago with their typical "we're number one" bravado attitude. To help boost trades, they offered these trade in deals and prices. Of COURSE...

    This might have something to do with it as well... http://www.ihateblockbuster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4414 Have you been in a Blockbuster lately? EVERY store is full of old sports video games that they have overbought. Thousands and thousands of them. They tried to give away the farm...

    Louisianna killed their own people

    First of all, just getting your news sources from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh pretty much shows your political leanings... Second, there's a lot of blame to go around for this, city and state included, but when THREE states are involved, it becomes a national crisis and a federal goverment...

    Gamestop is selling new games as used! Discuss.

    I don't see what the big fuss is about "new" games being opened. I own a rental store, and all of my product on the floor is "dead", meaning the software is behind the counter. If I didn't do this, all of my time would be spent watching shoplifters, potential shoplifters, and those that are...

    Dell sticks it to Best Buy...

    This shows that BB doesn't really know jack about retail. Those 20% is going to tell 20 of their friends causing a customer service nightmare. I wouldn't be surprised to see a retraction from a CEO or a firing. I'm definitely in that 20%! I own a video store and often buy titles there under...

    New game store in town + me = disgusted

    Ok, if it is his 2nd store then it should have a decent selection. I agree with you on that. It might be that he's trying to get rid of his crap that didn't sell from the first store. Sometimes a change of scenery will help. And thank you for supporting small business! marc mccloud orbit dvd
