Sweet. The only local rental store around here wants a $30 deposit every time you rent a game.

About damn time! And why no mention of PS4 and Xbone game availability?

So now we have even LESS reason to buy Wii U games!
WiiU doomed
Naturally Ground Zero's absent, despite being there for PS3/360. But then they would want you to pay $30 rather than $2 if they can help it, especially when they get more of that money potentially.
Still, I'd like to take AC4 and Thief for a spin, so it's good the next-gen consoles are finally being stocked.
Why? really? why? Thought it was funny?
I laughed.

A wild excuse to try out Donkey Kong suddenly appears!
Great that Lego City made the cut. Great game! Sure that Mario Kart Wii will be replaced one Mario Kart 8 is out.
Seemed like the obvious jerk comment.
I love my Wii U, that system just can't catch a break.

I don't see it, but then again,not seeing anything for PS4 or Xbox One either. Looks like they might of taken all of the next gen consoles off the site.

It's only going to show you titles coming to boxes in your ZIP code. It's going to look different for everyone.
They haven't offered Xbone/PS4 games yet.
This also might just be a test area. It would be nice if it went nationwide though, I wanna play DK :<

lol.
Oh Wii U.
I have never used Redbox before, how is it?
They are soon though, there's a thread about it on here.
Is everything a competition?
Yeah, I thought I had already seen them stocking Wii U games before.

I thought they already did this? I could've sworn I sawn ZombiU and stuff when I rented TLOU.

You can't play it on Wii U?
Its basically a DVD/game renting vending machine.

In the U.S it's one of the only ways to rent games, apart from mom and pop shops and Gamefly.

It pretty much pushed Netflix out of the disc market.
For $1-2, you can rent a DVD/Blu-Ray/Game. The boxes can be found outside or inside convenience and grocery stores. You can pick up and drop off at any box. It's awesome.
WTF? Netflix still offers disc rentals. Also I would argue that it's a better value, as you're paying per month vs per title.

My Redbox has had them for like a year now.
You can pay $18/mo for disc and digital on Netflix, or 7.99 for digital and just grab the $1 movie whenever you actually want instantly. Especially since if you're not near a distribution center it can take a week between disc swaps.
At any box ?
But they have a limited space .... or did they invented teleportation and didn't told us ?
The logistics of this are making my brain hurt
