Video Box

Kemptown’s answer to Blockbuster, the Video Box has been entertaining our living room for many DVD nights. Stocking all the big blockbuster films as well as kids’ films, foreign and lesser known movies, old and new, there’s still a reason to rent.
£3.95 gets you two nights and a fiver gets you two DVDs for two nights, which is a blatant bargain compared to other rental stores. It’s free to become a member and as well as rentals there’s a selection of DVDs and video games for sale, all at low prices.
We’re still hunting to get our fix of Beauty and The Beast though, which seems to be unobtainable anywhere in the whole of Brighton.

The video box is Kemptowns premier video shop and has all the Hollywood blockbusters. Its 3.95 for two nights, or a fiver for two DVD’s for two nights, which is pretty decent compared to blockbuster. I am a stickler for all the things you can never get on itunes or at the video store, so sometimes I find it hard to find that particular DVD, but often I want fun, I want explosions and I want the latest Batman. As for games, some rentals would be handy as I just bought a PS3, they only have em for sale at the moment.

Although I don’t have a video game system, I do still have an interest in the latest that came out. I thought I had knowledge of the video game industry, but after my visit at the Video Box, it turns out I don’t know anything at all.
The owner of the place is very (VERY) knowledgeable when it comes to gaming. He knew the ins and outs of all the gaming platforms (including comparing Xbox 360 graphics to PS3’s graphics — using Resident Evil 5 as an example), and also explained the depth of field effects in Bioshock 2. He was very enthusiastic during the course of the conversation, and gave me a few tidbits of what new games to expect, and what game system to buy it for.
As for the store, they had a decent selection of new and foreign releases. But, for a guy who is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about gaming, their selection of games were quite slim. For information about gaming, this is a fantastic place to go to. I definitely learned a lot, and I am going to purchase a Playstation 3 and Uncharted 2 when I get the money.
