There are about 16 redbox locations within 5 miles of me. Several of them 2 units at a single store.]]>Dec 10th 2009 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/
I hope that they start offering Blu-Rays soon. That would increase popularity since Blu-ray players have come down in price so much recently.]]>Dec 11th 2009 4:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/Dec 11th 2009 5:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/
Right, cause no one has to develop the software for distribution or disc management, run their massive business, run their distribution centers, or expand their business at Netflix. You're right, those 3 jobs at near minimum wage at your local Blockbuster are saving our country, we're all damned now cause of Netflix creating jobs throughout the salary spectrum. Oh and those Kiosks make themselves too, I almost forgot to add that.]]>Dec 11th 2009 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/

I didn't say these didn't make jobs, but they take a LOT less jobs to operate than the stores. It doesn't matter if the stores don't pay good, some people are jobless and would gladly take something like that over nothing.]]>Dec 11th 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/
I was on the Redbox bandwagon early on, but, as I feared, as they are becoming popular, the system simply does not scale well at all. Now most locations have 2 kiosks with different selections, low stock of new titles, and long lines during peak times.]]>Dec 11th 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/Dec 11th 2009 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/Dec 11th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/blockbuster-redbox-adding-rental-kiosks-at-ridiculous-speed/
I would love to see BD rentals too.]]>Dec 11th 2009 2:29PM
