Video Edge: Another Casualty of Netflix?

Posted by dailyheights on Thursday 30 August 2007 at 3:36 pm

Playing a bit of catch-up here… but what happened to Video Edge, the “alternative” video store on Flatbush (you know, the one just a few blocks down from that “other” video store…). Here is an update from Asil, posted on the Prospect Heights Forum | DailyHeights.com Message Boards:

They merged with another video store, I don’t remember the name, on 7th Ave. around Carroll or Garfield. There was a sign up on the window of Video Edge a few weeks ago that said the change was “due to the changing rental climate.” That could mean both rising rent on the physical space and DVD rental competition from Netflix. I would guess that both were a factor.

All Video Edge customers are supposed to automatically have an account now at the other place.
Really sad. It was a great store.
