The Record Exchange, still conveniently located on Hillsborough Street near Brugger's, has cds and dvds, new and used, for sale (and dvds, for rent). DVD rentals are $1 per night (can't beat that especially if you live in the dorms). The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about music and you can often find people just hanging out in there who also know a great deal. Caveat on the used stuff - make sure you play it right away so you can return promptly, and make sure it's the right DVD in the case before you leave. I've had excellent service here for years. Some concert tickets are available here as well...but that's sort of spotty.
