Davis-area video stores

[ron_newman]

I'm probably the last one on my block to buy a DVD player. But now that I have it, I'm interested in hearing people's opinions of local video rental stores.

It looks like we have three choices: Hollywood Express on Elm Street, West Coast Video across the street, and Blockbuster in Porter Square.
My first impressions:

Hollywood Express -- largest selection, best chance of finding something obscure

Blockbuster - very liberal rental terms: a '2 day' rental is really 9 days, a 7-day is really 14 days. A lot more foreign and independent films than I would have expected, though probably not in the same league as Hollywood Express

West Coast Video -- why is this store still in business? I don't see any obvious reason to go here.

The one near Porter used to at least. I can't say I've seen a section in any of the other stores, but that may be just because I wasn't looking for it...

Hollywood Express has a little book; West Coast has a 20x20 ROOM OF PORN. It's a very different experience.

(My favorite title: "Sweet, Petite, and Kind of Neat")
