Wishlist for Malaysia: DVD rental kiosk
March 7th, 2007No more long queues, no more sourfaced rental clerk.
This machine uses touch screen.
Renting a DVD only costs USD1.50 per day, and USD1 on subsequent days.
You pay by credit card or debit card.
You also return the DVD via the same machine.
Apparently already available across the causeway. The one above is available in the US.
One question: how does it know I returned the actual DVD that I borrowed?

Thanks, and not bad at all (it even has Kurosawa and Hitchcock classics!) but I’ll wait for its library to grow first. I think a good video rental site MUST have all of IMDB’s top 250 movies in its repetoire. For example, it does not have any of the Monty Python classics or even the Godfather trilogy yet, or acclaimed cult classics like Easy Rider, although I was surprised you even have Bullitt there.
