DVD Vending Machines
Thursday, August 14th, 2008
DVD Kiosks have been a growing business for the last few years. Now a days you even see one in front of McDonald’s, a big red box that rents movies. With that convenience it has been putting a pinch on Block Buster Video. It was just a matter of time that the king of movie rentals was going to fight back.
Block Buster Video has teamed up with NCR to create a Block Buster Video kiosk. Its a convenient way to rent movies for the night and Block Buster believes it will add quite a bit to there bottom line. 50 kiosks will be going out in the third quarter of 2008. This is Block Busters pilot program. They expect it to grow to many thousands of machines over the next few years.
Currently there are over 2200 units of DVD kiosks in grocery stores across America. You can bet with Block Buster now in the game, we will be seeing many more to come.
