Redbox to offer video game rentals

I’m a recent convert to the Redbox. Now, I am still a fan of downloading movies to my Tivo but sometimes my son wants to watch them over and over again. You just can’t beat the price.

Now Redbox is starting to test market renting video games in their kiosk units for $2/game.  The first two sites are Wilmington, NC and Reno, NV.  The kiosks will feature games from Wii, Playstation3, Playstation2, Xbox 360, and soon Nintendo DS.

The games will be $2 per night plus tax and can be kept for as long as they like, reverting to a sale after 25 nights.  If the test goes well the program could expand nationwide.
