Redbox Closer To Rolling Out $2 Game Rentals

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

DVD rental firm Redbox are in talks with a number of publishers over the possibility of adding video games to the company’s range of DVD dispensing machines. Redbox boss Mitch Lowe says that he’s holding the talks in an attempt to not only expand the range of products they can offer, but also to try and pre-empt the kind of disputes Redbox currently find themselves in with movie studios.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Studios like Fox, Universal and Warner have withdrawn from Redbox’s kiosks in recent months, unhappy with the way the company charges so little for rentals, as they feel it undermines actual DVD sales.

To help with the talks, Redbox have already begun trialling “Gamebox” machines in a number of locations in the US, like the u31.com เข้าสู่ระบบ one above, sent in by reader Richard. They’ve been in select u31 เครดิตฟรี 31 บาท markets since the middle of the year. Should these u31 เครดิตฟรี 31 บาท talks go well, though, you can expect them in a lot more markets. https://kotaku.com/kiosk-chain-offering-2-game-rentals-5338569 Redbox talking with video game makers [Reuters]
