Coinstar (CSTR) on Wednesday announced plans to expand its video game rental test this month to include additional markets in the West, Midwest and Atlantic Coast regions. The company said it began testing video game rentals in August 2009. The company is renting video games for Wii, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms for $2 a night plus tax.
By the way, this turns out to be a pretty extensive test. I did a search for locations with game rentals close to Tech Trader HQ in Palo Alto, and came up with a list of 50 locations; none are actually in Palo Alto itself, but most of the others are within spitting distance.
Just what the video game industry needs: cheap game rentals.
