Any video rental shop still in business today must have an excellent collection, otherwise they'd have gone the way of Blockbuster 15 years ago (they had a truly abysmal selection towards the end, as you describe. But in the glory days of VHS rental, independent rental shops often had amazing collections.)
- eslaught 4y agoI guess in principle I get this. But unless the store is physically huge, which seems unlikely, then it's a bit hard to imagine how an independent store would have enough selection to compete. It seems much more likely to be that the store would focus on aggressive curation. Which is to say, it would be highly dependent on both the store and your personal tastes happening to line up in order to of any value to you. That was my experience with the one truly independent store we had in town: I guess it could have been a fine store, but I wasn't in a position to tell since they very clearly did not cater to my tastes. They're gone now along with Blockbuster, so I guess the market spoke on that one.
