Jacki Lepine, a sophomore journalism major, disagreed. Videosmith is better because they have a longer rental period. An intellectual analysis of the two competitors may help to clear the debate. Blockbuster is definitely the store to be at for new releases. For rare or older titles, though, head to Videosmith.
People come here for foreign movies or classics or adult or controversial titles.
New releases at both Videosmith and Blockbuster are rented for one night. For other movies, Videosmith gives you six nights while Blockbuster gives only two nights. If your movie is due back at Videosmith on Thursday, you have until the store opens on Friday morning to return the video, which basically gives you one more night for free. All three of those categories are in separate sections, and you can spend quite a bit of time trying to figure out where the movie would be. Videosmith in the old days was the exact opposite just finding the movie you wanted, or at least one you didn t mind watching, was a major feat.
