RedBox, the DVD rental kiosk company largely doing business in western U.S. supermarkets and McDonald's locations, has begun offering $2-a-night game rentals at its locations, with Reno, Nevada as a test market. The kiosks will cover the major consoles (PS3, PS2, Wii and 360) and the $2 per night doesn't blow the doors off Blockbuster's $9 for 5. But it does offer a different sales pitch - mainly, an impulse grab while you're out doing something else.
Unfortunately, selection seems to be an issue with just 13 360 titles offered. There are also no online reservations (naturally) so this is truly a grab-and-go model. But for those in RedBox's range, who use rentals as part of their playing habits and buying strategy, this extra convenience could prove useful.

Nice.

Could be a cheap way to try out a game for a night before you decide to buy it or not.

Beats going to Blockbuster and having to deal with a membership and what not. I'll gladly support the Redbox as theres practically one at every street corner these days. Maybe if they put out more of the big releases for $2 this will give me a chance to try Wolfenstein or one of those titles that you want to grab but not sure If It's worth your sixty bones.

Neat, but I rather see them expand the Blu Ray boxes around. Still can't find any of them :bomb:

I'd like to see them expand their library first.
