Was a matter of time. Surprised they lasted as long. Who in the fuck is renting dvds anymore.

Thought it got the bullet years ago

its been on life support for ages now. The internet killed the video store. :slightly_smiling:

It did and some crowd bought it and HMV around the same time.

HMV bought them over sure didn’t they ?

2258

Will they honour the vouchers I got at Christmas?

2259

No, some crowd bought both recently. Extra vision have gone burst a few times.

Xtra Vision has been going bust since the 80s. This must be at least the fourth time
