Redbox Kiosk Game Rentals Launch Nationwide

After nearly two years of regional testing, Redbox kiosks nationwide are now offering $2/night video game rentals in addition to DVD and Blu-ray discs. Because it’s getting real in the Whole Foods parking lot, I instead swung by my local Harris Teeter this AM to check it out. Initially, it seemed as though Redbox might have a fairly large and comprehensive selection of relatively new release titles. But, upon closer inspection, this particular unit is only offering 16 games – pretty evenly distributed by platform. (5 Xbox, 5 PS3, 6 Wii) I could definitely see myself using the Redbox service to blast through shorter titles ($8 – $12 vs $60) or to preview longer and more replayable ones prior to making a purchase. Yet, L.A. Noire is only available on the PS3. So I’m hanging onto my two bucks today.
