p2pnet view Music:- “Here is an easy (theoritical) tutorial on how to get your movies for $1,” wrote surfer almost exactly a year ago, continuing:
“Sorry this tutorial is only good where you can actually rent a DVD for $1,” and, “Go to a McDonalds that has a DVD rental kiosk out front.”
He was talking about redbox.
Now, redbox says it’s started rolling out Blu-ray titles “with availability at approximately 13,300 kiosks nationwide”, going on:
“redbox will rent Blu-ray Discs at $1.50 per night plus tax and the company expects to have availability across its network of approximately 23,000 kiosk locations by the fall.”
The Book of Eli, Bounty Hunter, Brooklyn’s Finest and Green Zone are among the Blu-ray titles currently available, says the company, adding:
“The number of Blu-ray titles and copies will vary by kiosk and location with new titles being added each week. Consumers can visit www.redbox.com/bluray to find a nearby redbox location and to check Blu-ray availability in their area. Consumers can return their Blu-ray rentals to any redbox location as part of the company’s rent-and-return anywhere® policy.”
Each “fully automated redbox kiosk” holds 630 discs, “representing up to 200 titles, including standard definition DVDs and Blu-ray Discs at select locations”,it says, adding:
“Consumers simply use a touch screen to select their favorite movies, swipe a valid credit or debit card and go.”

i was thinking it would be more likely a disc eating itself away after exposure to oxygen…
but i imagine the deterioration process did not stop after the discs were gone and started to eat away the player itself… the horror !!
