What’s new at redbox?

Beginning in a few weeks, RedBox will begin offering Blu-ray Discs for $1.50.  I’m actually a little surprised it took this long, but happy they’re making it happen!

Google TV, it’s alive

Before even opening the press release, just seeing the name “Google” in the tile had me excited.  Google TV is a new service, kinda like a hulu, allowing you to watch network programing whenever you want.  The key difference is, this is meant to be viewed on your television.  Future set will have Google TV built in but you will also be able to purchase a set top box made by Logitech. I’m not sure, until i get my hands on one, that i can really do it justice, so here’s a video that will tell you all you need to know.
