RedBox offering Game Rentals Nationwide

Have you seen the Redbox kiosks when leaving a store? Normally you would find movies in there and they have even begun their attack on Netflix. Now it looks as if they are targeting Gamefly as well. The latest announcement is that they plan to offer video game rentals on over 20,000, kiosks all around the U.S.

The videos games offered will be for current game systems such as X-Box 360 and Playstation 3 and just like the movies. Rentals are $2 a night and they allow you to keep a title for as long as you want and then add up the daily amount until you reach 25 days. If you keep the game longer than that Redbox will charge you $50 to keep the game.

You can check out a list of games available here.

$50 bucks if you keep the game huh, is that not less than what some games cost?
