This is the best local "video" store I have ever had. Video Vision is situated on Carlisle Street…read morein St Kilda and has the best selection of DVD's possible. How I know this is because I have a test. I am a huge film lover and there was a film I watched when I was younger called "Don's Plum" and have never found a copy since due to the fact it had a very limited release as it was boycotted by actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire as the whole film is in black and white and is overexposed. I actually really liked it and no DVD store has ever had it, let alone heard of it. Until now. Not only did they have it in, the "film buff" behind the desk told me the history of the film and gave me recommendations on other films I probably hadn't seen. This is the nature of the store and is understandable due to the fact there are sections dedicated to "100 films you have to see before you die" (made by the staff) and "Highly recommended" (again by the staff) but due to their undoubtedly good knowledge it makes selecting films easy. If that's not your thing there are also sections categorized by Director's name, Academy Award winners, Stoner flicks, Chick flicks, Arthouse, Foreign, Nostalgic, Cult and more! It's a film lover's paradise. It's almost too good at times as they have films that aren't registered to Australia's region and will only work on some DVD players. Again, this just shows they are committed and the one time they didn't have a film I wanted, they were happy to order it in and probably took it quite personal.

I'd walked past DVD Collection hundreds of times before I ever went in. This is because it looks…read moreso, well, tacky from the outside. I know it SAYS that it has lots of imports, but it looks like the kind of shop that stocks all those $2 made-for-tv shockers that you only ever watch if you're... actually, that you just never watch. Pleasantly surprised, then, to discover that the reason the place looks shabby is because the money goes on importing rare editions from all over the world. This is the sort of place that you only go to if you actually care about owning the US and JApanese releases of whatever it is you're into. I'm not that sort of person (if I find the time to sit down and watch a movie, I really don't care all that much where it's from), but my friends are and I've since found some good birthday presents.

Call me old fashioned but I just cannot succumb to the download everything mantra. Video Busters in Prahran is my all time favourite store mainly because it always has good deals throughout the week. In this day and age, $1 doesn't get you much. At Video Busters however, the $1 movie deal on tight-arse Tuesdays will get you any movie (including new releases) for just 1 buck! Other great deals include five 7-day DVDs (You can have a Gossip Girl extended marathon) for just $5. Besides that, I love that they sell their old DVDs off for a fraction of the cost compared to some other chain stores. My verdict is, rent it, love it, buy it. And Video Busters gives me that choice, all in one store.

When you need a night in, or you've been talking about the latest TV series your dying to watch from start to finish or your Asian DVD man has returned to Thailand.. Video Busters is your one stop shop. The Prahran location always had deals going and they are always so convenient. The store is a decent size and is always fully stocked with a wide range to choose from. Be sure to avoid the giant family size block of Cadbury's chocolate strategically placed between the latest release DVD's, gets me every time. They also have a set of computers at the back of the store and for a small fee you can browse the web or use Wi-Fi.
