RedBox, the DVD rental kiosk company largely doing business in western U.S. supermarkets and McDonaldâs 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 doesnât blow the doors off Blockbusterâs $9 for 5. But it does offer a different sales pitch â mainly, an impulse grab while youâre out doing something else.
Unfortunately, selection seems to be an issue with just 13Â 360 titles offered. There are also no online reservations (naturally) so this is truly a grab-and-go model. But for those in RedBoxâs range, who use rentals as part of their playing habits and buying strategy, this extra convenience could prove useful.
