Redbox is doing Games?

There is the link to the IGN article where I first read this. 2 bucks a day seem high to anybody else? Blockbuster used to be 5 bucks for 3-5 days depending on the year you go back to. Games, being a different media style than movies, take time to enjoy. If you are renting a game, then it’s generally to play it and not buy it (for most folks). Maybe you rent because you want to play it, but don’t think you will play it past 1 time or that you don’t think you can justify loving it enough to pay 60 bucks for it.
At this rate, unless you play the game nonstop most people won’t beat the game in a day. Some games are near impossible to do that in. So lets say you still play the game heavy and beat it in a week. That would cost you 14 dollars. In that amount that you’ve paid you could have gotten a Gamefly account for a month. Meaning you could rent more games or keep the one you have for the rest of the month. Seems like a big rip-off to me. However, if it’s successful maybe that will push Gamefly to be better.
Interesting, what do you think?
