I agree with many on this thread that the local, walk-in video store is in for a major contraction in customer support. It might always be around in some form, but they will not be able to sustain the same number and size of stores that they currently have.

Around here now at our grocery stores, they have DVD vending machines, cost like $3, return it the next time you go to grocery store....
