A rental shop is a store where a consumer can borrow reusable products for a fee for a certain period of time before returning them.
Some shops now have policies where instead of late fees, they will treat overdue items as a sale after a certain date, and charge a price equivalent to a standard sale of that object (with appropriate deductions for the rental fee already paid and for its pre-opened condition).
Blockbuster Video is the largest and most popular video rental shop in the United States.

 Confessions of a Grade School Role Model:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Video rental shops become of inestimable importance when you live in a country whose language is not your own.
In America, it's obvious: if the shop is along the highway 45 minutes from town, and is flanked by billboards full of X's and pucker-lipped blondes, you know you're looking at a porn shop.
But in Japan, even if the entire rack of videos in the window star Tom Hanks and various floppy-eared puppies, or the windows are papered with posters of squeaky-clean teenage pop groups, and the shop is in the middle of a strip mall parking lot, it still might be a porn shop.

I've always been a movie buff, and when my family moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio in 1984, one of the ways my parents tried to help me adjust was to arrange a part-time job in a mom-and-pop video rental shop.
My boss was very much into concert videos, and we stocked as many of them as we could.
That was probably my favorite thing to do, because the people renting them usually had never handled a video or VCR before and it was amusing to watch them while you explained it to them.

 TV Cream - the archive of your dream (s).
THESE DAYS, sell-through videos are so cheap, the old-fashioned video shop seems to have disappeared.
But back in the 80s, when you'd pay 40 quid for something three or four years after it came out at the pictures, and it wasn't in widescreen and didn't have stereo sound, people were a lot more wary of buying videos, and tended to rent a lot.
So, quickly fast-forwarding through Simon Bates explaining the British Video Classification System, we present the TV Cream Video Rental Shop, where the shelves still heave under those slightly oversized video cases used to house Mad Max, Firefox and many, many more - you know, the ones with the rounded spine.

While this seems a bit far-fetched, those in the video rental are well aware of the potential damage that such a model could invoke.
Studios have come to depend heavily upon revenue generated by video sales and rentals, and have in turn supplied home video retailers with privileged access to certain titles for specified periods of time after their initial theatrical release.
Keep in mind that, at least from the perspective of the studio, the primary driver for Internet-based movies-on-demand is to use Internet to deliver content directly to the end user, thereby bypassing both the video rental stores and network owners and avoiding revenue sharing while maintaining content integrity (i.e., avoiding the Napsterization of video content).
