Kiosks and downloading were foreign ten plus years ago, but now we can download music from Amazon and rent movies at Red Box. What's to stop someone like Best Buy or Blockbuster from doing a DVD DL kiosk for titles that have no churn?
I for one wouldn't mind if they replaced one row of DVDs with a row of DVD DL Kiosks and the remaining rows with a larger Blu-Ray selection. If a kiosk could burn a full TV series boxed set, print a full color cover for the case and decent light scribe label on the disc, that would be pretty cool.
My only concern would be longevity. Burned discs degrade at a faster rate than pressed, but so long as I could rip the DVD DL in question and place it on a media server, I'd feel a bit more comfortable.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
