Games for PS3, xbox and Wii. I have a Wii and would absolutely love that! They would make a killing!!!!! This idea would revolutionize the game industry and put a hold on other stores like blockbuster and others that charge an outrageous amount. IF the person doesn't return the game, then they will be charged full value for the game. I think that's pretty fair. Come on CEO, see it my way! It helps everyone!!!

Would like to see a two-sided Redbox that allows returns while someone is browsing for a dvd. 2. Which markets are they planning to roll out in the future? 1.

Oh hey, I hope I am not too late to chime in on this. I noticed tonight that my favorite RedBox location now has...wait for it...2 RedBoxes! Yay! (I am in what was originally a pilot market for RedBox, and so maybe they're trying something new here) Anyway, on the way home I was thinking how 1 machine should be locked out and do only returns, and online rentals. Because I love the online rental thing, and when I have to stand in line to swipe my card and get a DVD, that's almost as frustrating as waiting to make a return. So anyway, then I thought that would be a silly solution if it was the middle of the day, not busy, and 2 people wanted to rent at the same time. So then I saw what SuperErnie said, and I thought "Brilliant!" The RedBox should use software to see how it's doing, and then if the RedBox can tell it's peak-operation time, if it's a location with 2 boxes, it should lock one of the boxes out for browsing, and only allow returns and online-rental checkouts. This would speed up the line, and since it would give priority to people doing online rentals, it would encourage more people to do their BROWSING AT HOME! Which would in general also speed up the whole "wait to rent in the freezing cold" thing. Quote SuperErnie:
