Boy, those Redbox kiosks are everywhere these days. If you’ve never seen one, it’s essentially an automated vending machine that rents new-release DVDs for $1 per night. You commonly find them in front of Wal-mart stores, pharmacies, and fast food joints.
I saw this on the way to work this morning:
Things aren’t looking so good for ol’ Blockbuster Video.

@ Jen – Oh, it’s a complete fake. Now that I look at it, I didn’t even get the perspectives to line up correctly. I cropped the base so you couldn’t see it floating above the sidewalk. I did the photoshopping in about 10 minutes, so take it for what it’s worth. I can throw something together in a pinch, but I’m not going to be touching-up cover models anytime soon.

I just got back from returning Benjamin Button and Taken. I love the Redbox! It reminds me of Doctor Who… OK -not. Anyway, did you know that Blockbuster has an order for 10,000 vending machines? It appears they think they need to stay in business. They were supposed to go live at the end of this year, but it has been postponed to the end of next year.
