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!

Video Vision is another Indian movies and music place on Devon Avanue. It has a good selection here too just like Al Mansoor which is across the street. There is always less crowd here. They have a good selection here but the only thing I don't like is that they do not carry many of the really old movies and music from like the 1960s or 1970s that Al Mansoor does. If you want the recent releases this is a good place to check out because they always have those.

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.

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).

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

Tower is a first rate retail store that is up to the minute with the latest releases in just about every genre or style of music, this must be a hard task. They do alot of advertising about their new releases and are great at promotions. I also like their website for ordering online. Their prices are competitive and their customer service is much appreciated. Great place to buy a gift for a loved one or friend.

This place is way cheaper than Blockbuster. They have many movies to rent for as little as a dollar. But usually I just end up buying movies from here - they are hardly more expensive than renting from Blockbuster and I like to add to my collection. They are used movies, probably previously rented, but who cares? As long as the movie plays it works for me. And the cool thing is if you buy a movie you haven't seen before and aren't sure if you'll like, they will usually let you bring it back and exchange it for another movie if it turns out you didn't like it. You can't really beat that.

While there are a lot of sex shops in the city, this one has the best selection. The atmosphere is such that I enjoy shopping here as a woman. Other places I feel kind of out of place or looked at strangely. The staff is very friendly without making you feel self-conscious. They also have one of the best selection of "wilder" toys.

This is a nice little shop for movie rentals. The service here is excellent. They have a decent selection of movies, and they also sell music. I like this place for its great service, but the selection is definitely better at bigger video rental shops. But if you call in before hand, you can find out if they have what you are looking for and you can even put it on hold. That's a pretty convenient option!

Nationwide vidoe is my choice video rental store in the area. For one, it is always less crowded than Blockbusters or Hollywood vide. Also, it has a better selection of non mainstream movies and videos. for instance, they have lots of foreign film selections and older films that are hard to find anywhere else. They also have some great deals here. The rental prices are a bit lower than the chains and they also have the monthly movie pass so you can get unlimited rentals. Its a nice place with good service.
