Hollis says that about three-quarters of its stores sell DVDs. Of the 2200 titles on offer, Video Ezy offers about 500 for sale. Civic Video sells about 75 titles, about a quarter the size of its rental library. During the Christmas period, it also sold 1200 DVD players. For VHS there was always a lag-time, known in industry circles as a window, of four to six months between a video's rental release and its sale date.
Distributors are divided.
