Double thread fail...U cant rent games from Red Box's as far as I know, just movies in the ones that are around here. All depends on ur location as well, I have Family Videos here and theyre awesome.

Red box is testing out video games now! There still testing the market but one of the cities they're trying it in happens to be Austin. If it does well than they'll start renting video games all over. Huzzah

It's alot better than blockbuster... Renting a 360 game for 5 days is 10$!! fuck that, it would have been fine if there was no late fee's, but they took that away for some reason (probably the abuse)

We have some Red Boxes here with games, they are $2 a night which is almost exactly the same as BB ($9 for 5 days).
I had heard awhile back Wal-Mart was supposed to be getting game rental kiosks unofficially named "Black Boxes".

I remember you mentioning this a while before....I noticed in our redbox they started doing games also....it would be pretty neat if walmart did something.
But tbh, I know gamestop are crooks...but I'd hate to see my gamestop go out of business, I have one of the few gamestops that have cool people working there. I go in there so much they actually try to help me out.
I remember one day I was trading in two games and I dont remember how much it came to so let's just say $45.....when I was trying to get two more games with my store credit, both of them combined were $49.....but when I tried to do one at a time....one came up $18.....
actually this isn't working out, I was trading in two games to get two more games, when I got the two games I wanted to use my store credit on it added up to be over the store credit that i had....when I took one game off it said I still had enough store credit for my other game.....So the dude looked through the computer, found out what happened and fixed it for me so I wouldn't get jipped.
If I would have went to Cary....they would have bent me over the counter......assholes....lol
.....did anyone understand what I was trying to say?
