Redbox (hearts) Blu-Ray
It’s official: Redbox welcomes Blu-ray with open arms
After checking online, there was no evidence that there were actually any Blu-Ray discs in my local kiosk.
Undaunted by the epic fail that is the Redbox web site, I went to the store. As I swiped my credit card, I was rewarded with two Blu-Ray discs actually present in the kiosk. Naturally, I rented them both. The movies were Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Jumper.
Watching Journey right now, and it seems pretty good. The picture quality is awesome, and it’s not that bad of a movie. I’ve heard crappy thoughts about Jumper, so we’ll see what happens next.
Anyway, I was shocked to see that there were actually Blu-Ray titles available in this crappy ass-backwards town.
Apparently the Redbox team didn’t get the latest survey that showed 99% of Merced area respondents thought Blu-Ray was some kind of new-age window ornament. Their loss is my gain. If they keep stocking Blu-Ray, I’ll keep renting.
