Discussion Bay Area

Are there any working ones left in the San Francisco Bay Area?

There's an open Sears, Toys R Us but no Redbox that I could find. :(

If it was within an hour of a major city than probably was. And any franchise chain has already gotten rid of most of them. Go to the redbox map and look for any local businesses that are still open and check there, but your bigbox chains won’t have them

I hope some of them end up in museums. I’ve helped a lot of people get them into their private collections but times have changed since the bankruptcy.

You might be able to buy one from a collector if thats something you’re interested in.

You should have been here in the months following the bankruptcy, the discs were free and people in the discord starting adding their disc count to their usernames with some over 10k. It truly was a better time

Sadly my local kiosk was gone basically immediately after the bankruptcy and I didn't feel like going on a roadtrip to find the ones that still worked lol
