Blog: GameFly expanding video game kiosks to 7-Eleven stores

August 4, 2009

Gadget Review blogger Christen da Costa today wrote that online video game-rental service GameFly is following up its March test of G-Box kiosks on college campuses with a test rollout at Southern California 7-Eleven stores:

I totally didn't see this one coming, but GameFly is trying their hand at kiosk video game rentals by installing touchscreen boxes at select 7-Elevens throughout Southern California. Unlike their core business, which requires a membership, the G-Box kiosk just requires a credit card and a burning desire for a video game at any given moment, since rentals cost $2 a day. That's twice the price of their intro membership.  The G-Boxes – don't even get me started on the name – will contain classics as well as recent releases for the Xbox 360, Wii and PS3.

Da Costa only reports two area G-Box sightings and says gamers can enjoy a free one-day rental using the code "GBOXSEVEN."
