I was at the computer store today and I decided to drop into the video store next door. It's an independant shop called the
DVD MANSION.

He has EVERY HD-DVD and EVERY Blue Ray disk available for rent. He also has a large selection of odd ball stuff on regular DVD such as kung fu, documentaries, concerts, TV shows ( rented by the season ), out of print stuff and new releases DVD's 2 weeks before the other guys.

Here's the address:
DVD Mansion
8425 Woodbine Ave
Markham, Ont
905-479-7383
dvdmansion AT bellnet.ca

Membership requires a photo ID and a credit card.

Directions. From the DVP/404 exit at Wodbine and go north till you see the Tigerdirect store. Turn in, they share a drive way.
OR take HW 7 to Wodbine and go south a very short ways turn in across from the Office Place store East side of the street.

I think he's mostly rental. Give him a call. I don't remember seeing any for sale.

Think he'll open an Orangeville or Guelph, or, dare I say it....a Hillsburgh location?

Just a thought....

I still like walking into a video store and being bedazzled by the cornucopia of tittles on the shelves.
