RED BOX Selections

[Buddy Christ]

Anyone having any luck with a good selection of Blu's in Red Box?

I've gone to 3 and the selection varies greatly.

One had about 20 then the other 2 had 6 each.


Obviously YMMV but what kind of titles are you seeing?

The grocery store close to me has 2 machines........ Is there an option on the main menu for Blu-ray??? I didn't see any advertising etc.... so perhaps those machines don't have any, I don't know..... but where, in the menu options etc.... will it show the option for Blu-ray? (I obviously haven't used Red Box too often)

On the main screen there should be an icon that says something like "See Blu-ray selection." Whenever I use a Redbox I reserve online and they recently updated their system so you can reserve Blu-rays online. I haven't rented a Blu-ray yet though because there's no movies I've wanted to see that they've had on Blu-ray. They don't have a lot of movies on Blu-ray since they just started carrying Blu-ray a couple weeks ago.

Excellent..... looked it up online, and it looks like the 2 machines carry the same titles, which is '9' Blu-rays....... (one has 1 title out of stock, the other has 2 out of stock)

Not bad..... Only title I might get is "Book Of Eli" so I might walk up there with the kids later.

My local Redox machines are carrying about 5-10 BD titles.

I work at an independently owned video store and absolutely despise Red Box. Gotta love that a little machine in grocery stores can single handedly destroy small (or even large) businesses.

Luckily, we haven't been effected too much (yet), probably mostly due to our Blu-ray selection. We have around 500 that you can rent for a couple days for $2.50.

Not that I blame you guys, you may not have video stores in your area anymore...

Mine by my house went from 2-3 to 9-10 in the span of a week. Looks like they are rolling out more titles quickly now.
