First off I wasn't even going to write a review till I saw a review on here that just had a lot of information wrong on this store.
I've been coming to this location for the 10 years they have been open. Since day one there have been all kinds of deals that the owner has come up with. From his 1cent rental days. YES THATS NOT A MISPRINT! To the yearly October 6 horror movies for $6.66 special. 99 cent family videos that you get for 7 days. Even on Election day if you bring in your voter's stub you get a free rental. This is just a few. There are regular specials like a new member gets 2 free when they rent one for signing up. Rent 3 games or movies for $6.99 - $9.99 with a large bag of chips or popcorn.
Unlike the big store's even when there is always a slow long line you NEVER stand in line for long periods of time here. You are taken care of very quickly by the great staff in this place.
I can only agree with one part of the review that I found so incorrect. The price for one video is $4.50 but in 10 years of coming here i can say with the specials NO ONE just rents one video. Plus even if you do there is a lot more offered for your one video. With TV Shows and Deluxe Editions. The Tv shows are rented by the season... NOT BY THE DISC. Huge saving compared to Blockbuster and the rest. With the Special Editions brought in are always the best versions available. Many versions I have yet to even see at another store other than here. They bring in more then just special editions they bring in collector's editions that have more then the special editions. You can't buy those for $3.99 at Best Buy.
Their late fees are pretty reasonable. 99 cents on regular titles and games as well as 2.50 on new ones. I remember being late a Blockbuster once with a game and being charged six bucks!! This place is very reasonable on their prices. The best part is if your a frequent shopper. They sell a prepaid card there that you can have 30 rentals for only $35. Beats the crap out of the other store's prices as well as the bargain $3.99 basement DVDs on sale.
Saving the best for last....THEY DELIVER AND PICK UP your movies. So you never even have to leave the house.
I've been shopping here for years and rarely ever need to shop elsewhere for something. I strongly recommend trying this place out.
Oh, and their selection of DVDs. It's the best I have seen. Forget the big boys...check out this place.

Al Mansoor is one of the best place on Devon Avenue to go for any Bollywood movies or music. They have a large collection here and have all the latest films and music. They even have so many things from the older generations which are hard to find anywhere else. So either you can buy their movies or you can rent them. Also, they sell all the tickets for the Indian concerts that are going on in Chicago. This is a good cool place to check out for Indian movies and music.

The people that work at Hollywood Video are really nice. I go here on occassion, when I can't find what I am looking for at Blockbusters. This place has just as good of selection and they always carry all the new releases. They're not always all in stock, but they do have them! They also carry a good selection of older movies and some hard to find movies. One time, the guy at the front counter forgot to take the security blocker off of the DVD. When I took it back to get it taken off, he gave me two coupons for free rentals. Now thats sweet.

You say you want friendly service? Well, you got it here! Everytime I go in here (and I mean it when I say everytime) the people working are so super nice. They go out of their way to make sure you find what you need and even make good suggestions.
Last time I went in, I was looking for the movie Home Alone. Couldn't find it out on the floor, so I asked a guy working there. He was so super nice and looked things up on his computer, and though they did not have it, helped me locate it in another store. Talk about great service.

Since moving to Chicago, I've been going to West Coast Video on Broadway in Lakeview for video rentals, and I have no complaints! They are reasonably priced ($3 per rental, and new titles are sometimes overnight but usually five days), and catalog titles (aka not new releases) are always rent one get one free and keep both for a week. They have a great selection, although for older titles you'll need a VCR. MUCH better than the sky-high prices at Blockbuster, plus a lot more selection and better chances of having what you're looking for!

Blockbuster is a great place to rent movies. They always have a great selection. And now they have no return fees either, making it even more convenient to rent movies. I especially like this location because it is a big store with really friendly associates who are great at recommending good movies. However, it often can be hard to find parking in their small lot that they share with a few other stores!

I love this hollywood video location. Blockbusters is my usual stop for renting games and dvds, but I recently got some coupons from here so I headed on over. I was amazed with their selection and the fact that they were well stocked. Also, they have this neat program where you can come in and sell your old, used dvds or videos to them! I think that is really cool because I have so many and I defnitely made good use of this program. Obviously, they did not pay top dollar, but it was better than trashing those dvds!

This is a place to rent nice Indian movies and they have a fairly decent collection. The DVD quality is too. Another thing that this shop is famous for is Indian mouthfreshners called Paan. Its a leaf of a tree sprinkles with Indian delicacies that is very tasty and freshens your breadth. Its fun to enjoy this while you are here

I love this place. Rent two movies (really cheap) and get another free! The selection is small, but unique videos from recently released to tv shows. Also, for anyone who enjoys Indian films (i.e. from India not Natvie American) this is THE place to get them. It's better than Blockbuster in terms of selection and availability (I've found).
