- Control Over Content
- Quality

My local library has Monte Python and the quest for the Holy Grail, and the first season of the Simpsons.
Sounds like you’re set for life, mate.
My local library has an awesome collection of VHS, they even started adding some DVDs the last few years. I suspect in a few more they may even have HD-DVD!
