well actually i have a love/hate relationship with them. around here movies are just $1. but 80% of the time the machines are off with an out-of-order sign or have some kind of windows xp error on the screen that you cant get out of.

as far as the questions above, you use the touch screen to select an in-stock movie. some models let you choose up to 3 or 5 at once. then u swipe your credit/debit card. if its ur first time, itll ask for your email address. you click that you agree to the terms and conditions, and then the movies pop out. you get a receipt via email and have 24 hours to return the movies. although there are no "late fees" there are the posted rental charges. so if you keep the movie for extra days, your card keeps getting charged the rental charge. after x days (varies, usually like 30 days) they charge you a purchase amount for the movie and its just yours now.]]>Jun 23rd 2008 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/movie-booth-dvd-rental-kiosks-head-for-uk-ireland/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/movie-booth-dvd-rental-kiosks-head-for-uk-ireland/Jun 22nd 2008 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/movie-booth-dvd-rental-kiosks-head-for-uk-ireland/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/movie-booth-dvd-rental-kiosks-head-for-uk-ireland/
So we tried it out. It was great and it's the only way we rent movies now. Pretty convenient since there is one at a business right behind where i live.

You pick out your movie, swipe your credit card and your movie pops out. It costs $1 here, but then run promotions all the time to get free rentals. You have until 9:00 the next night to stick it back in the machine or you get charged another $1. If you lose it or forget you get charged $1 every night until you hit 25 nights, then you get to keep the dvd and it stops charging you.

Can't beat it with the fact that blockbuster is over $4 to rent a movie now and with netflix you have to plan ahead too much, when i want to watch a movie i don't want to wait for it to come in the mail.]]>Jun 22nd 2008 3:47PM
