Topic: Video 48?

[txtus]

panu po pagnawala na ung receipt? and san na ung gate nila pagdumadaan kc ako
west ave., akala ko sarado n cla?

[wedge]

actually, i lost mine soon after i signed up with them. unless you're retracting your membership, you won't need the receipt to rent videos from them.

the last time i passed by video 48 was two years ago and the complex was being renovated nun. the entrance if i remember correctly is on the side, not visible along west avenue, on the street that ends on a subdivision gate, i believe. there is a small security guard desk and you would immediately notice the door to Video 48 because of the displayed action figures on the glass window.

Are they still open? Do they also have DVDs for rent (newer titles)?

[Ikiru]

Still open. Renovated. Lotsa good titles in the foreign films section - you just have to ask for them since these are in a separate room.

How much is the membership fee?

How much is the rental rates?

What's the alloted period for rentals?

Are they picky on who they'll allow to be members?

[wedge]

If I remember, t'was four hundred pesos when I applied for membership. Dunno if they increased the price.

Also, I believe it's P40 for the rentals (both DVD and VHS--haven't tried their laserdiscs, though).

Normally, they let you keep those you rented for a week (I admit, sometimes I go beyond the one-week period,  but I go there often noon, kaya siguro nakilala na rin yung mukha ko dun hehe)

Nope, they don't. I just drove there one time after work (I also inquired the details of the store from one of the members here, i think si X44 ata), and signed up with them.

how's the selection? near lang kasi sa amin ito.

[wedge]

During the time na madalas ako mag-rent dun, their DVD selection is quite small pa (which are housed in plastic storage bins and the few that could not fit are displayed at a glass cabinet pagpasok mo). They have a really good selection of VHS and laserdiscs (the LDs are located upstairs and most of the tapes are arranged either by director or genre).

how's the selection? near lang kasi sa amin ito.

Foreign films (US and non-US) now occupy two walls (near ceiling to floor) of a small walk-in closet-size room.
