Actually, the DVD kiosk company that got the Metro contract was not Redbox. It was a company called "Movie Solution," which literally seemed like it was run by a kid at Morgan State University. DCist had a posted about it last year: http://dcist.com/2011/04/dvd_rentals_coming_to_metro_station.php

The YouTube video about the company was posted in October 2008, and the kid seemed to that renting DVDs from a kiosk was the most innovative idea since sliced bread. Why did this kid get part of an eight-year, $880,000 contract from Metro? Who knows. Am I surprised that a company as solid as this one failed to perform? Not at all.

Maybe Metro should try to entice Redbox, Blockbuster Express or another established company to set up kiosks.
