The move from 8 MM to VHS helped, but not that much. The move to DVD did little. The move to a guy renting a tape for a night doubled the market. AVN mag use to give the rental sales and tapes sales separately. Anyone know if they still do?

Guys who would buy one tape a month for $30 would rent one every other night for $3 ($45 a month.)

The moral is to examine old successes and adapt them to our situation.
