If you get a foolscreen version you could always break the disc and say it came that way when you return it

Here are the current locations in Denver that have the kiosks. They said that they will put out the new releases on tuesday so it sounds like they will keep on top of it. Also if you keep the disc beyond 21 days you will be charged $25 and can keep the disc. Kinda pricey but I've seen people get charged $75 for late fees for one movie at Blockbuster. I'll see what I can rent later this week and check if they will promote widescreen. This week should be a good test with ROTK coming out in both versions.

Jason:

I used to live in Denver and am really shocked that the two McDonalds on the 16th Street Mall aren't included. With all the people living downtown you'd think that this would be a no-brainer, unless there is now a video rental store downtown somewhere.

 

[Jason Harbaugh]

Yeah it seems to be pretty random if you ask me. There are about a dozen McD's within 5 minutes from me (Lakewood area) but not a one is on that list.

This is supposed to be a summer long thing so perhaps they will expand it to all of the McD's in this neck of the woods.

This is from the USA Today article:



Looks like they will all be carryng them....

Amusingly, I caught a tv commercial earlier for what looked suspiciously like the opportunity to "make money" operating these machines.

hey Gary

I watch WWE RAW faithfully every week and they have an ad to buy one of these all the time. Next time it's on I'll post the 1-800 number. Maybe I'll buy one and put it in my friend's deli.

They've started to expand the kiosks to most of the McD's around here now, so I finally checked one out. To my surprise, everything was OAR! On any movie that had a widescreen and a fullscreen release, only the widescreen was available and it specifically said "Widescreen" in the description.

The machines are pretty cool and easy to use. Touch screen is there to pick your movie with basic info about it. 40 movies are carried at a time I believe, the top 40 rentals, and this includes the new releases that week. Pick your movie(s), swipe your credit card, out comes your movies in their own plastic thin jewel case. Just return them by sliding the dvd back in at any McD's.

I will definitely rent here instead of a Blockbuster's or Hollywood Video for new releases that I'm either not sure of buying, or just want to see with no interest in buying. For a buck a day, you can't go wrong. Actually a $1.05 w/ tax.

I saw one of these a long time ago at the Cinemark Legacy in Plano, TX. I don't know if they still have it, but I've never come out of a movie saying, "Gee, I feel like renting a movie"

Are you telling me McDonalds sell food in the USA? They ought to distribute some to our branches in the UK!
