Red Box now selling Blus!!!

[BluRoo98]

I have several red box locations near my house. For months now they have been selling $5 DVDs - today I cliked on the "used Dvd" link at the machine and they had Star Trek + Wolverine Blu Ray for $5!!!! I serched 2 different red box location and both had Star Trek on blu. I know Blu Ray is not available in all red box areas but if you have seen them for rent in your locations - look under used next time and see if they are selling them too. There is no cover Art or blue case but for $5 I'll take it!!!

So did you buy it?

No I already own both of these titles but the screen looks the same as when you rent the DVD so I assume it would give me the correct disc. I bought a DVD copy of "the Hangover" because there was not a Blu version available. It gave me the correct movie.

How can you tell if a machine has Blu's or not? Does it have a unique tab? I have been trying to figure this out...LOL.

don't know about Red Box but on the Blockbuster machines they have a button for BR's. But not all of those carry BR's even though you see the choice for them.

every disc I've ever seen come out of a RedBox is scratched all to hell.

My machines will have the movie cover image with a blue line across the top and title will look like this:
"Wolverine (Blu ray)"
There are not blu rays available in every machine and far far less than DVD - maybe 2-3 in each machine while they have 50-60 DVDs.

Agreed. $5 is a great price for a used Blu-Ray movie-HOWEVER-I just couldn't do it without getting the case with it.

Call me crazy but I'd still pay the extra $10 to get the Blu-Ray with disc and original case.

Thanks for the heads up though.

U are not crazy and you are not the only one. I will do the same too.

I would prefer the original artwork and case, but if it's a large enough savings, I'll go bare bones. I am a cheap bastard and I'm not ashamed to admit it!
