TheScott2K posted:Blockbuster once lost the DVD copy of Sneakers that we definitely returned and charged us $39.99 for it. It was at Target for like $12. gently caress Blockbuster. I think that might be because rentable stock cost way more than buying the film from a retail store. I seem to remember VHS tapes cost like $120 for a rental store to buy back in the day, since they would rent it out over and over again. They were probably also ripping you off, though.

Iron Crowned posted:It was my understanding that was normal cost to everyone at the dawn of home video because the movie studios were terrified that it would be the end of cinema. Doing a bit of research it looks like prices would start around $60-$100 in the initial period when only rental houses could buy, and then prices would drop a bit when they would start selling to retail customers.
