DVDs are the name of the game for Columbia House. Initially a 50-50 joint venture between entertainment giants Sony and Time Warner, Columbia House is a club-based direct marketer (with members in the US, Canada, and Mexico) of DVDs in North America. The company sells more than 9,500 DVD titles via mail order and online. Its TV on DVD club features a wide variety of television programming.
