RIP Blockbuster Video

There's a Jumbo Video operating down the street from me, but they don't rent games anymore. I asked why and they said they're just too expensive. For one, too expensive just to obtain. Two, they're usually the first thing thieves grab for. Three, they're the most common to be late or never even returned, so no profit from multiple rentals.
Hell, all that was the same when I used to work for Blockbuster myself. It was a thief's #1 target and we'd be lucky if the ones that rented ever came back on time, let alone at all. It's no wonder they were $10 for a week.[DOUBLEPOST=1383863493,1383863461][/DOUBLEPOST]

Well...sort of. You get 1-hour trials of the full game.
plus their pricing model doesn't care when you return the game.
I don't use Redbox often, but I find it's a nice supplement to Netflix.
They are. My local ones just have god awful selection and very few copies of each. And I doubt based on the size of the machine they will ever expand their selection past triple A titles.
I'm fortunate to find good stuff at Redboxes, though for PS3 (COD Black Ops 2, God of War Ascension). I've found more AAA titles for PS3 than Xbox in my area (GTA5 needs 2 disc rentals for Xbox), though maybe there are more Xbox customers and less demand for PS3. I've driven 20 miles to get a title before (The Last of Us). Finished Call of Duty Ghosts in one day and Beyond: Two Souls in two (without trying to 100% any of them).
