Blockbuster DVD kiosks come to Big Y

8/27/2009

DULUTH, Ga. NCR will install its Blockbuster Express DVD-rental kiosks in Big Y grocery stores throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut. NCR anticipates the kiosks being up and running by Sept. 3 in all 57 Big Y locations.

Blockbuster Express is a new self-service DVD rental experience, offering consumers a selection of over 800 new release and classic DVDs through kiosks.

No membership is required to rent a DVD from Blockbuster Express -- customers swipe their credit card and are charged $1 per night until they return the DVD. DVDs can be returned at any Blockbuster Express kiosk -- not just the kiosk where they normally rent.

NCR expects to invest as much as $60 million in 2009 to build out its DVD-rental kiosk operations. The company expects to deploy more than 2,500 kiosks in 2009 for a total of 10,000 kiosks by mid-year 2010.
