well boy, i sure am glad i just signed up for gamefly

"We're sorry, but we are unable to locate a redbox near you." ;_;

luckily there are several red boxes right in my neighborhood, all within walking distance

i've seen these before

Redboxes are pretty convenient. There's like 5 within a 3 mile radius of my house and the rental is cheap.
It really sucks though, they closed down a local Blockbuster and replaced it with one of these. I sort of was hoping to get a job there next summer too.

... They shut down an entire building and replaced it with a little red box?

Yeah. I know some of the guys that worked there too.
Pretty disappointing shit.

that's extremely retarded on so many levels

I just saw that Blockbuster Online does games now, and no extra charge. Gamefly is screwed.

I think I'll just keep renting new releases day one at the family video.

Blockbuster is going bankrupt. Seems Redbox and Netflix are taking over the rental biz.

I actually love blockbuster, great service, always had stuff day one, and most of all the best movie snack isle in the *crag*ing world.

Blockbuster online has games, but you don't get to rent them until around two months after they're out.

Yeah i just saw that, Hooly. Not having the latest games at launch kinda sucks... but I hear Gamefly hardly ever can deliver the latest games anyways. These redbox machines will probably have the same problems. Everyone will rush it to get the new Halo or Mario, so you'll probably have to wait anyways.

I live in a neighborhood with a bunch of old people, so I should be good to go.
