Walmart in Newington CT had one. Never saw a line at the machine like the redbox’s do. The machines (game & dvd) were removed within the last month.

Never saw any Walmart rental boxes around here or even within 50 miles.

Redbox , What are you wanting for to stock Blue Ray disc’s in your machines. If you want to jump to the head of the line, you better get a move on. Don’t let the competition win new customers, if they beat you to it.

Here in the southern ‘burbs of Minneapolis/St Paul, the Walmarts just have RedBox. I don’t like them, have had nothing but trouble, mostly the machines not working and then the selection of movies…. We had e-play at some of the Super America’s (like 7-Elevens) and my husband and I really liked them. They had a GREAT selection and we are so sad they are gone! We went to Super America the other day to get a couple of movies and the box was gone! We were shocked, the cashier said he thought they were great too, and he had heard they went bankrupt. Too bad!

For $1 a night what can you expect? It is still a great deal, no matter how you look at it!

I use to use the e-play machines all the time. But, they were not located in walmarts they were in Exxon “On the Run” gas stations, here in Charlotte, NC. I really liked the machines and they would get movies that Red Box didn’t have. So, it was nice being able to have more choices. They had great customer service and ran some great promotions to earn free rentals. I was very sad to see them gone. There is another machine called DVDexpress that are located in Bi-lo grocery stores I’m waiting to see if they are able to make it. I hope they do it’s good for the market to have more then just one company doing all the $1 rental boxes.
