Picture Search Video & Vinyl
Richmond VIC
Operating since 1983 as Melbourne's last surviving video rental store, Picture Search Video & Vinyl spans three levels packed with an archive of over 45,000 DVDs, VHS tapes, Blu-rays, and vinyl records. Known as a film buff's paradise, the shop features a dense, maze-like layout filled with hard-to-find physical media and hi-fi equipment, as well as a resident cat named Wombat.
Commenters share strong nostalgia and love for physical media, frequently praising the store's rare selection and the presence of the resident cat. However, opinions on service are mixed; while several patrons praise the owner's charm, others describe him as eccentric, unwelcoming, or intimidating.
