Although you’ve probably seen the Redbox kiosks almost everywhere, have you ever seen the Blockbuster express kiosks? Probably not. This is because there only putting a major deployment out in Florida right now. By mid-year of 2010 they wanted to have at least 10,000 out, but it’s 2011 and for now Redbox is the big company for kiosks everywhere. However there are Blockbuster kiosks out in America. The company plans to put kiosks in grocery stores in Massachusetts, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. By the end of 2009 the company wanted to have 2,500 and the NCR will have put $60 billion on the business. To get even more customers, Blockbuster is thinking of forming a team with Target. Redbox has formed a team with Walmart that has more than 3,500 locations in the nation. Target on the other hand only has more than 1,300 locations in 47 states. (article below) Maybe in the future there will be Blockbuster kiosks a lot of places, maybe more than Redbox. For now we’ll just have to watch the kiosk war.
