DVD kiosk rents titles by the hour

By Jennifer Netherby -- Video Business,12/08/2009


The kiosks rent new release DVDs at 6¢ an hour.

DEC. 8 | PHYSICAL: Minnesota-based Mosquito Productions is opening a handful of DVD rental kiosks in Minneapolis and Wisconsin, renting movies by the hour in a twist on the standard kiosk business model.

The company operates three BigBox DVD kiosks at college campuses in Wisconsin and has put its first in Minneapolis.

Kiosks offer new release DVD movies for 6¢ an hour, with Blu-ray Disc films available for 9¢ an hour. Catalog films are available for 4¢ an hour.

The company says it can offer more films in kiosks than competitors.

Customers also can search for films online and see which kiosks have those films.

In the real world people make copies, a lot of copies.
Check out dvdfab if you don't believe me, they are providing the software to copy almost anything, they are
costing the movie industry millions, check it out!

What a great idea, it takes 15 minutes to burn a copy of
a dvd so if you live on campus your cost will be 6 cents,
12 cents if your slow plus the cost of a blank
dvd and you own the movie.
