[...] for now: an idea. Also, it is unclear what effect Walmart’s recent announcement that it is reducing its in-store square footage for DVDs would have on its willingess to participate in such a deal. A hot new idea, or just hot [...]

Studios need to make better movies, that is what drives dvd SALES. Most of what is out there is not of interest to me to buy, rent, or see in a theater. Even with a free code, I frequently walk away empty handed. Why waste 2 hours of my life looking at junk? If everyone boycotted the mindless drivel that passes for entertainment, might take a while, but the studios would finally be forced to put out a quality product. We now accept whatever they put out, we deserve what we get. Start putting out quality films, when the demand reappears, you betcha WalMart will be stocking movies like mad.

Perhaps because Redbox has trained people to think that a DVD is only worth $1.00 now?

Why does anyone have to try to cheat? If you want to buy or rent a movie from anyone, do it. It doesn’t matter who the company is. It’s your choice. You choose to spend money or not. If you think it is too expensive share with a friend. Try doing something else with your time.

Wally’s wouldn’t need to “compete” with Redbox. In fact, Redbox could be 100 times bigger than any kiosk program Wally’s created, as long as Wally’s kiosks were equally as successful in driving traffic into their stores. However, if their own kiosk program didn’t drive more traffic than existing Redboxes, I doubt they would care about the additional revenue derived from keeping all the proceeds of each rental.

The box office is doing well because a ticket costs $100 today–that’s it.

In theory, if you rent the DVD, don’t you technically “posses” it–in the sense of ownership–by paying Redbox for temporary ownership rights to the DVD? After all, you can decide to keep the DVD, right? I know that argument doesn’t exactly work when confronted by current copyright law, but I’m just throwing that out there for fun…

And I have to agree, most of the people at Best Buy don’t even know about the products they sell, let alone copyright law.
