This is going to be neat if they put one in near me.
Overall, I'm pissed though.
Way back when, Houston was one of the earlier test cities for Redbox, and as soon as I saw one I started talking with a few friends I worked with about somehow getting a loan and setting up something similar, either a 'Green Box' for 360 games and a 'Black Box' for PS3 games, or just a single box for both systems.
It would be like Redbox (a dollar a day) except it wouldn't stop charging until the 60th day (an awesome way to take advantage of lazy customers as they'd end up paying 60 clams for a game that was likely 20-40).
It would be so awesome for gamers to be able to pull up to a kiosk and rent/buy games 24 hours a day like you can with movies at Redbox.
But now it looks like Wal-mart and other places are beating me to the punch. Not that I had a snowball's chance in hell of getting the loan anyway.
