The 2nd Time!
 

Well yet again i have been screwed by the blasted video store. I rented 3 VHS and all of them work perfect except for the one that i wanted to see the most which was Dead Alive so i am rather fucking pissed. Anyways anyone have any tips for VHS?

Yes, toss them in the garbage and buy a dvd player.

DVD

yes, give me your address and i will mail you a copy

Open up the back and see if the tape looks ruined or dusty. If it's dusty try to blow it off. If it's twisted or crumpled, it's a goner. VHS tapes don't have an extremely long life span (especially rentals) so there's a chance it's just old, too.

I would bring it back to the store, tell them it doesn't work and get a free rental out of it at least.

I have a DVD player but the only place that HAS Dead Alive has it only in VHS. And plus all the good movies in this town are on VHS.

At least your town HAS good movies.....

You just totally solidified your awesomeness...:)

How about - set it on fire and throw the flaming, stinking, melting mess right back into the store?

Do at least as much damage as they charged - my policy.

I have had problems with DVD rentals also! I have a cleaner/conditioner kit for the DVDs I own, but I don't want to use it to clean rentals. Does anybody know of a way to fast easily clean these DVDs?

unless thereis advice against it, i would think windex and a paper towel would do just fine.

If your dvds are scratched or dirty to the point they're fucking up, just get 'em resurfaced - works fine every time, the info's all on the other side anyway...
