Online video game rental service GameFly

Online video game rental service GameFly
has extended its "universe into the physical world" with the opening of
its first rental kiosk, the "G-Box," on the campus of Texas Tech
University. Similar to the DVD-rental vending machines currently
available in grocery stores and kwik-e-marts across the country, the
G-Box kiosk instantly dispenses video games without any of the hassles
of human interaction. Renters can browse hundreds of titles by genre or
console, swipe their credit cards and receive bacon. Rented games can
be kept indefinitely without due dates or late fees, but incur a daily
charge ranging from $1.99 per day for Wii games to $2.49 per day for
Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games. According to campus newspaper The Daily Toreador, the G-Box will also offer a rent-to-own option.
GameFly says it plans to install G-Box kiosks at colleges and universities nationwide.

GameFly will install similar machines across the country, Spector said, but Tech was the first to have one installed.

The
G-Box will come stocked with games for several platforms, including
Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii, he said. Also, renters can keep the
games as long as they want and will not be given due dates or late
fees.

John Creed, general manager at the campus bookstore,
said GameFly worked with Barnes and Noble campus bookstores across the
country to offer its service to students.

"I think it'll allow
students who don't have the ability to get out to a Blockbuster to rent
games," he said. "Students who live in dorms or are on campus more
often will have the ability to get recent releases."

It will
cost $1.99 for Wii games and $2.49 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3
games, Spector said. The G-Box also will offer a rent-to-buy option.

"Gamers want to play a new game in the first couple of days," Spector said, "and daily rental allows people to try a game out."
