XONA kiosks expand DVD capacity

May 23, 2011

XONA Media, developer of a movie kiosk that not only rents traditional DVDs but also allows digital media downloads, announced today a breakthrough in the storage capacity of its kiosks.

According to a company press release, Xona kiosks now have the capacity to securely store up to 15,000 full-length movies and TV programs. This expanded capacity enables digital retailers to offer in-store libraries larger than the premium online streaming movie selection from Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu. And with the XONA Instant Movie Download (XIMD) technology, every title is still available for download in 10 seconds.

"Today's consumers are online and on the go, and their phone has become a mobile entertainment center" Pete Popcke, chief operating officer of XONA Media. "As online options continue to grow, retailers and consumers value the convenience of a 'digital filling station' to complement existing options for loading content on these advanced devices."
