NCR will be acquiring about 1,300 of these familiar-looking DVDPlay kiosks.
NCR and licensing partner Blockbuster’s network of blue kiosks is about to get a big boost, thanks to a just-announced business deal. NCR Corp. has acquired DVDPlay Inc. under undisclosed terms and plans to begin converting existing DVDPlay kiosks into Blockbuster Express machines.
The deal will extend NCR’s reach into California, Colorado and Illinois, and the end of this year, NCR expects to have about 3,800 kiosks in operation in the U.S. and Canada.

$1 per night movie rentals a little too rich for your blood? If you live near a University of Wisconsin campus, just stroll on over to a Big Box DVD kiosk and you can pick up a disc for six cents an hour.

"Buy more DVDs, please."
Just like in the job market and the economy at large, “Things don’t suck quite as much as they used to,” is apparently what passes for good news in the entertainment industry these days.

The CEO of Paramount parent Viacom, Philippe Dauman, is apparently in agreement, judging from his recent comments at the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference.
