Blu-rays rolling into redboxes

Blu-rays rolling into redboxes
July 29, 2010

Coinstar subsidiary redbox recently announced that it has started rolling out Blu-ray rentals, with the discs available at approximately 13,300 kiosks nationwide.

The company says it will rent Blu-ray discs at $1.50 per night plus tax and that it expects to have availability across its network of approximately 23,000 kiosk locations by the fall.

Redbox president Mitch Lowe said last month that the move was imminent, and gave a timeline of the next several months for the process to start. Looks like it's happening perhaps faster than expected.
