However, we had several outlets that had pre-viewed, and nearly new, rental
tapes for $3-10...The places were always packed with customers. I have some
classic movies on tape that have not been released on DVD. Of course, I
have laserdiscs that will never probably be released on DVD (some of the
Lumivision series--many of which are superior, IMO, to most DVDs).
