DALLAS<\/b> \u2013 <\/b>Military families at approximately 113 military installations in the continental United States can turn the lights down, grab a bag of popcorn and prepare for movie night as the Army & Air Force Exchange Service and Red Box have rolled out a new way to rent the hottest movies and video games. <\/b><\/p>\n
Some 167 Red Box vending machines, deployed by the Exchange, are now providing military shoppers with affordable and convenient opportunities to rent DVDs, Blu-Ray discs and video games.<\/p>\n
Red Box rentals are charged at a daily rate. New releases start at $1.20 for DVDs, $1.50 for Blu-Ray discs, $2 for video games and new releases are added every Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Online rentals are available as well. Shoppers select their favorite movies and games at redbox.com and pick them up from the kiosk during the next visit to the Exchange.<\/p>\n
Returning movies is made even simpler by allowing customers to return movies and video games to any Red Box kiosk location on or off the installation.<\/p>\n
\u201cMovies are a great way to spend time with family or unwind,\u201d said the Exchange\u2019s Senior Enlisted Advisor Chief Master Sgt. Tony Pearson. \u201cThis service makes that quality time even better.\u201d<\/p>\n
