I remember reading somewhere that BB was going to try to compete with Redbox putting out their own boxes all over the place cheaper than RedBox.

There have been "blue" boxes in my area for at least a year.

I have seen some in QTs and Tom Thumbs. There says starting out at a dollar, which i can only assume they have more expensive new releases??

Ah, I didn't know. I don't use those things and haven't really paid attention to them.

Yep, new releases are $2.XX.

Boxes can't (or shouldn't) be their big announcement, they have been around for a while.

Never! Actually, if they paid me 1.5 times what I was making and wrote out a 5-year contract, agreeing to pay 5x my annual salary in the event I got laid off, for each year under the 5-year mark I missed, I would go back to work for them.
