    Why don't truck stops have red box movie rental kiosks? It would be awesome to be able to rent a movie and return it the next day or two when you stop for fuel again....I know the ts make money off their sales....but come on! Those prices are terrible!

    Would you rent movies cheaply to thousands of people that will be thousands of miles away in 2 days with no fixed address?, Nope, me either.

    Redbox is a franchise I think. Get the startup money and you can do it yourself; kill two birds with one stone!

    They're usually outside of the grocery stores or 7-11. Why not Google map "redbox" and find one near ya? Quick check of my current location, Circleville, OH, there are three. Keep the movie for a day or two and return it on ya 30 minute break or the 10 hour..

    Yep I downloaded the red box app....as I am sure you are aware we can't always get I to some places etc...I just thought it would be convenient if at a truck stop.... and I believe you can return a red box movie to any red box kiosk....

    There are some t/s which have something similar; but it's either through email or USB drive I think... I've never even looked at one before myself.

    netflix + iPhone app + infinite data = what's a redbox?

    Redbox will go the way of the dodo bird inside of another year or 2. Don't Invest too much kiosks at this stage of the game.
