New Zealand Today - Video Stores

[@dav9104]

Everyone here doesn't want video stores to go, but haven't bought a dvd in a decade.

[@_nom_]

Why buy a dvd instead of bluray?

[@lochlanhanham8308]

@@_nom_ DVDs are cheaper

[@drumboarder1]

But.. buying DVD's hurts rentals

[@ariesa9751]

We just like the aesthetic not the actual products.

Guy - “do I look intimidating?” Lady - “no baby you look cute”. 🤣🤣🤣

I feel bad for that store owner because that's probably his only job.

[@mattdrifts]

Hes probably just aboit retired and will sell up to keep him going

[@tonypenton465]

This is funny use to get all my Videos from Tony in the 90's even ordered Wwf and Dragonball z videos from him to buy. He use to owe Black Bridge Video in Mangere Bridge and was competing against united video dow the road in Mangere Bridge at the time now he owes one off the last United Videos. Tony if you read this good on you for all these years doing something you love and nvr giving up. And thankyou for all the game hires over the years on my PS1 console Megadrive and Sega Saturn good guy

[@drumboarder1]

How long'd it take to solve that mystery?

[@DJPurpleOne17]

Aw I miss hearing the United Video ad, good times, I loved the song lol

[@SkiizmBeatz]

Well I wouldn’t say “the last remaining video store in the world” because there is still 1 video store that’s still running in Australia up in Far North Queensland. It’s called E-Time Video.

[@CocoaEm]

[@DinoPimp]

[@nathan70anderson]

Bossatron 166 up at Westgate?

[@thenewzealandgringo9296]

The experience of the video store is something we are missing these days. The 'in with the new and out with the old' attitude is corrupting the younger generation.

[@vanessabradley6192]

We have a United video in Rotorua

[@aaliyahnaden5506]

This United Video store is now gone lol. Its a laundromat now

[@jameslane9595]

The real story is how United Video ripped off almost every single characteristic of Blockbuster Video in the USA. The font, the color scheme, the uniform, the shelves... It's all a direct copy!
