Redbox debuts $2 video game rentals, pretty lean on titles thus far

If you’ve been waiting expectantly for Redbox to launch its much dreamed-of video game rentals kiosks — well, dream no more. Word has come down from on high that it’s happened, and we’ll tell you: we couldn’t be more pleased. For $2 a night (which isn’t really a great premium compared to Blockbuster’s $9 for five nights), you can hit up the kiosk and grab games for Nintendo DS, Wii, PS2 and 3, and Xbox 360. Now — the game selections are really slim so far, but we’re pretty sure that situation will improve quickly, and the launch has only been rolled on in the Reno, Nevada area as of now. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for Redbox to make its way eastward soon.
