Redbox updates site for Blu-ray search, most kiosks still not updated for Blu-ray find

The good news is now there's a dedicated page on the Redbox website for finding kiosks stocked with $1.50/night rental Blu-ray discs, but the bad news is... we can't find one anywhere near our zip code. Apparently if we did live on such hallowed ground, it would even point out recent Blu-ray movies added to the kiosks making the decision to watch Matt Damon in The Green Zone tonight as easy as possible. Hit the source link to begin your own search for high definition movies, hopefully it turns out better than ours so far.

Looks like they finally have some in Dallas. I'll go check it out today

It doesn't show which movies are available in Blu-ray though.

where are ya'll seeing the blu-ray search? I'm all over their website and can't find it...

[hodedofome Posted Jul 29th 2010 1:27PM]

@hodedofome Nevermind. Somehow I didn't see the source link before...but yeah, knowing WHICH movies are in blu-ray is what we're really after...

They've had this for a while (two months, at least). But while you can only see which nearby kiosks have Blu-ray discs, you can't actually see which ones are Blu-ray, and you can't reserve Blu-ray discs.

Also, the kiosks I've seen charge $2 for Blu-ray discs. (I don't remember if it's $2 per night or $2 for the first night, $1/night thereafter.)

The Phoenix market has blu-ray now, I noticed it when I went to rent Green Zone. The price is $1.50

Yeah, without the ability to reserve online in Blu-ray it is practically useless. I mean do they really expect me to drive down there just to see if a movie is available for rent?

It let me choose the Blu-ray but wouldn't register a card when I tried to pay. Not sure if the card reader was broken.

They have them at the Fred Meyer (Kroger/Ralph's is comparable) in Portland, Oregon that is across the street from my house. Score.
