DVD Rental Kiosks  
DVD rental kiosks deployed in the U.K. and Ireland 25 Jun 2008 CHELTENHAM, England — In the coming weeks, shoppers in the U.K. and Ireland will be able to benefit from the deployment of robotically operated DVD rental kiosks, and one machine being launched as a trial in a Tesco Ireland store initially could see the concept rolled out in 2008.
The kiosks, which offer users touchscreen access to a range of new release movies, also will be launched in Centra and Applegreen stores with an expected deployment across both the U.K. and Ireland, should the trials prove successful, according to a news release from The Movie Booth.
The Movie Booth is a new brand, based in the U.K., which supplies DVD rental kiosks to retail stores throughout the U.K. and Ireland. The kiosks enable users to rent movies on a pay-as-you-go basis, offering a modern alternative to the traditional high street DVD rental store.
"Customers use a touchscreen system to select and rent their movies, and it takes three steps to rent a film from the kiosk," said Carlos Marco Rider, managing director of The Movie Booth. "These new kiosks have been designed with the end-user in mind and have several features which make renting a DVD a simple process. The partnerships we are developing with retailers should ensure we achieve substantial coverage across the U.K. and Ireland by the end of 2008."
