The not available for online reservation kills it. Why waste gas driving 5+ miles to discover the good ones are out of stock. Let me know when you can reserve online and I might give it a try.]]>Nov 24th 2008 5:57PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/its-official-redbox-welcomes-blu-ray-with-open-arms/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/its-official-redbox-welcomes-blu-ray-with-open-arms/

Watching Journey right now, and although the movie seems to suck, the picture is perfect.

More on my blog soon at http://johna.org/]]>Nov 26th 2008 12:59AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/its-official-redbox-welcomes-blu-ray-with-open-arms/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/its-official-redbox-welcomes-blu-ray-with-open-arms/Nov 26th 2008 1:09AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/its-official-redbox-welcomes-blu-ray-with-open-arms/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/its-official-redbox-welcomes-blu-ray-with-open-arms/
You see, Redbox just added them into the mix with all the DVDs, I almost missed them at first. The only way to tell they were Blu Ray was by looking at the small box art image and seeing the Blue shell which was photographed. It also helped knowing the Tropic Thunder Cover art was different for the Blu Ray version.

I chose the movie, it popped out after I paid my dollar and written on the face of the disc in permanent marker was:

"Defective!"

Of course the disc was fine, not a single scratch. Some poor customer rented it unknowning that they were not getting a DVD. Even the case the disc came in says DVD all over it.

I want Redbox to be successful. They need to add a screen to inform the customer that they are choosing Blu Ray instead of a DVD.

Even my (hopefuly former) local video store makes a point to always ask everytime before I rent if I really have a Blu Ray player.]]>Nov 26th 2008 3:50AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/its-official-redbox-welcomes-blu-ray-with-open-arms/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/its-official-redbox-welcomes-blu-ray-with-open-arms/Jan 4th 2009 9:24AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/its-official-redbox-welcomes-blu-ray-with-open-arms/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/its-official-redbox-welcomes-blu-ray-with-open-arms/Feb 11th 2009 3:47PM
