The cost of rentals also is pleasing to the college student's budget. If the movies are delivered, there is a 50 cent charge. Digital Shelf also sells and trades DVDs, as well as renting them. DVDs are becoming more available across Manhattan for a variety of reasons. Marty Criswell, Digital Shelf employee, said there is a big difference between DVDs and video cassettes.
Some movies also provide interactive games, actor interviews, and extra scenes.
Criswell said DVDs also provide scene selection, which video cassettes do not. You can also shut the movie off, then pick out the scene where you stopped, and start the movie there. As technology changes, and the shift moves from traditional video cassettes, DVDs will become more and more popular, Criswell said. They just hold more information. Student Publications Inc.
