    Rental of new releases in the wine street Xtravision shop have doubled from €2 to €4. Good news is that just over the road Video City are still doing their €2 rentals of new releases. I don't work there, just nice to support the place keeping their prices down.

    I always try to rent from video city but the selection is awful and lack of blu ray makes it difficult.

    I can't believe that anyone who has internet access still rents out DVDs.

    I've never had an issue with quality & you can also download blu-ray.

    Yes but not everyone downloads legally and oftentimes its the dvd sales that generate the income for the movie if it didn't take that much in the box office.

    I used to work there and new release DVD rentals were never €2! These were the 'celtic tiger' years though.

    They could do with sorting out/expanding their world cinema collection.
