Red Box makes space for Blu-ray on its website

by Darren Murph posted Nov 16th 2008 at 1:30PM

Despite the obvious color bias in the company's name, Red Box is giving Blu-ray a fighting chance. After hearing that BDs were popping up in rental kiosks around the Northwest, it's now looking mighty official that Blu-ray Discs will be headed to its rental boxes around the country. As of now, the firm has made space for a dedicated Blu-ray section on its website, though it's currently empty and waiting for occupants. Impulse renting of BDs? Now there's something the BDA won't mind hearing.

We have Blu-Ray available at Red Box at a few Wal Mart Neighborhood Market locations here in Orlando, Fl

In Richmond, VA, we tried renting Indiana Jones and the Crystal skull a couple weeks ago, and it wasn't marked as BD, but it was a bluray disc. I don't have a bd player, so I was kinda bummed. Don't know why it was in the system...they didn't have a blu-ray section or anything. This time a week ago we rented it and it was plain DVD...

Here in hicksville outside of Daytona Beach we also have blu-ray in the Wal-mart Red Box. Which makes me nearly ecstatic. Yay Red Box!
