RedBox Starts Vending Blu-Ray

Redbox, the fabulous DVD rental service that uses rental kiosks located at your local McDonalds, is announcing that they are now stocking Blu-Ray titles. That’s right, for just $1, you can watch your favorite Blu-Ray title at home and return it to your local Redbox kiosk.
Redbox is the largest movie-rental kiosk operator in the United States and will be offering Blu-Ray in select markets. Because the disks are more expensive than normal DVDs, I imagine the rollout will be slow.
Among the titles at launch are: Hellboy II, Wall-E, and Tropic Thunder.
I’m excited about this move and about Redbox in general. As a Netflix subscriber, I’m thinking about cancelling the Netflix and just doing Redbox when I need a disk. The only trouble is, sometimes movies the wife and I want are not in stock.
