Just rented a game from my local Redbox!

So is this the final nail in Blockbusters coffin? I mean yeah the games are 2$ a night and you get 5 day rentals from Blockbuster for $10, but if you finish the game in 3 days you just saved yourself 4 bucks! Although the selection is very low right now I am quite excited to see if this catches on!

My area only has moves , that would be cool.

I would use redbox rentals to see if i like the game return it next day and buy it, better to spend the 2 bucks and find out that the game sucks than spending 60 and being stuck with a bad game :)Agrzybianek

Two bucks a night is really steep. Don't rent any RPGs.majadamus

Are people really compaining about two dollars a day. With some games only having four hour lifespans, I'd say that's great. It'd take you twenty days before you'd reach retail. I love this idea and I hope it catches on. I might actually start renting games again :D

What games does your redbox have?

What game did you rent? I can see myself renting a single player game on the weekend then spending 15 hours on a Saturday to beat it

I love redbox. There's 3 within 2 miles of me and like six within 10 :)gmaster456

There's 2 just down the hill from my house. I never use redbox though since I have netflix.

I am actually amazed that Redbox is now dealing with video games. I'm sure after it's success with movies, this is a great investment.

Kudos to them.

... now, off to Redbox! :)

Wow so a simple five days later and the selection is already much larger! Fable 3, Fallout NV, SWFU 2, and I guess they will be releasing games day and date with retail which is awesome...depending on how Black Ops' MP turns out i might just redbox it for the SP

I rather buy my games than rent them. But congrats.
