It will be a while, but can you imagine the selection they will have?
Land Before Time Part 22
From Justin to Kelly
Gigli
Kazaam
Police Academy 14
But then again, for 99 cents, I'd pick everyone of them up

I have seen one dvd at the dollar store so far. Some drama that looked so boring I would have shot my brains out and onto the floor after watching it just to get it out of my head.
I have bought vhs movies from there, quite a few actually.

Yeah it will take awhile. I mean look at VHS now its cheap cheap cheap. 10-15 years ago you would have paid as much for VHS as you do for DVD today. It'll happen it's just a matter of when.

CD's came out, what, twelve years before DVD's?
So I estimate we'll see $.99 DVD's at the Dollar Store some fifteen years after we begin seeing $.99 CD's at the Dollar Store!

I think CD prices are just insane to begin with.

I got a how-to-play guitar DVD at a 99 cent store- haven't watched it yet but it's taught by a 12 year old girl! Couldn't pass it up for less than the price of a blank though!

yeah a few of the 99cent stores out here by me has some now.. It not really that shocking being the DVD's are not really films, more sports blooper or workout this and that. Ya can tell it's really old footage and so on.. Pure junk to be honest...
My wonder is how long till they start to show in the thrift / goodwell etc shops. I mean the 99cent store I can see being a DVD is just like any other product that went overstock for whatever reason. For them to be in goodwill and so on means people are just giving them away rather then throw them out. Sort of like how the VHS tapes are just given away it seems.
