Redbox

[cmtar]

I posted this in another thread but cant find it worth anything. But does the redbox had blu ray? I looked at one at walmart yesterday and it did really say yes or no. And do they have movies on the day they release?

I don't know about day-and-date release being the same as other places, but it's pretty close. I do know they are rolling out Blu-Ray rentals but I have yet to see a redbox with them. When my local redbox gets them, that's the last day I'll probably set foot in Blockbuster.

According to www.redbox.com, they have rolled out Blu-ray to a limited number of stores, primarily select Wal-mart stores.

what would really be cool if a redbox or something similar just burned copies of the movie on dispposable disks that way a lot more titles could be offered. that way if rented a movie it would always be a clean copy.

There were some technologies about 10 years ago where the disk would degrade so that using it after a two or three days was impossible, but they never took off. You'd need something like that.

I wish there was a Redbox nearer to me than 25 miles. The fuel cost wipes out the price advantage. There are closer Walmart and Albertson's stores, but they don't carry the DVDs. I see that some McDonalds have redbox, but none around here.

Unless the Redbox is inside the Blockbuster store. :lol: With how Blockbuster is peforming lately, who knows what could happen.


I've got a few near me...mostly in Walgreens and grocery stores. I'll have to give them a try.
