Although only in business for about 2 months, the store now handles only VHS. I asked what happened because they had an equal selection and alot invested in the beta format. Because of the poor rental turnout and cost to keep current they felt they had to sell out the Beta tapes. Look liked a real good opportunity to pick up cheap Beta movies if anybody near they has a Beta machine. Patrick Fargo AT&T Bell Labs IH
