I remember being able to rent video games from these. Some days you might see 2 people in line for one of these things.

I should see if I can find some working ones tomorrow and take out a few games and see what happens if I never return them lmao

Don’t you have to enter a credit card before it gives you the disc? I imagine they will just charge you later though maybe it’ll slio through the cracks.

It could potentially work out like netflix letting users keep the discs they had.

I wonder how many discs one machine holds? Might replace a bunch of bookshelves…

This is what the inside of a Redbox kiosk looks like:

Looking forward to seeing this on Technology Connections. Seems right up his alley.

But knowing his timeframe of products, it’ll probably be 20 years from now…

If you could make this thing dispense drip coffee, he’d be all over it

Depends on whether you can use it to wash dishes or store heat energy.

Quick! Everybody run to redbox, and rent EVERYTHING.

Not like you have to return disks to a service and box thats no longer fuctional!

Yep…I see no flaws in this plan! Just a smart guy doing smart things!

Hey…we should build a monorail to the moon!!! And then brag about our redbox gains!!!

Redbox Gains. That sounds a lot like my failed thrash ambient band.

Lots of poor people used Redbox.

At least poor people still have the public library.

For now.

Yarr.
