Quick, stock up the ol’ DVD collection, Hollywood Video is cleaning house … and then vacating

Hollywood Video near Fort on Battlefield is closing its doors, which is good news for you, if you’re looking for birthday/Valentine’s/wedding? gifts. The shelves are clearing, but there’s still a great selection. On the way in you can grab candy for 50 cents and the rest, from what I gathered basically looked like this: $4.98 for last summer’s movies (Pineapple Express, Hitchcock, Step Brothers) and up to $10.98 for some of the new stuff. Video games started at $4.50 for PS2 and the selection was pretty solid from about a decade. Games from the last couples years were already picked over, but it’s worth a look.

This is surely a sign of things to come for Blockbuster … damn you, RedBox! Family Video is probably safe, don’t they still have the private adult room? If so, business will be fine.

For just a bit more than $43 I purchased seven movies (including Pineapple Express, Horton Hears a Who – for my son, of course, and Tropic Thunder) and an old NHL video game (2006) because there’s never been a bad hockey game.
