Probably not news, but I just noticed that my local Redbox is offering games for all three current consoles. They had all the new releases: LA Noire, inFamous 2, COD: Black Ops and others. I was tempted to rent the new Transformers game. Just 2 bucks a night. A good solution if you don't want to spend 60 bucks on a game purchase. 6 bucks for a weekend rental for some of these games sounds more reasonable to me.

Good alternative to the $20 that blockbuster charges for an entire month with infinite exchanges... /sarcasm

Really? Redbox charges $2/night, I believe. Compared to $20/month. Blockbuster also tends to have more games in stock.
Redbox is great as a 'once in a while' thing. As a 'rent a lot of games' thing, though, I'd go with Gamefly or Blockbuster.

Assuming you can find one still open. The two that were in our town are closed down. |

Every blockbuster here is closed as well. Thats a bit like saying why eat anywhere but in and out to someone on the east coast. It simply isnt a choice.

I live right smack in the middle of downtown Baltimore. No Blockbusters anywhere. They're gone. |

Something like 1400 of ~2000 Blockbuster stores are being shuttered. And they are now owned by Dish, iirc.
