So... does anyone in the SF bay area have a lead on where to get one? I'm talking to some other hackers but it'd really help to get my hands on one myself.

@foone Retailers are desperate to get rid of them, because Redbox abandoned them and they are apparently a royal pain to remove and dispose of. If you can get a truck and an electrician, any retailer who still has one might pay you to haul it away

@foone are people just taking the discs out and keeping them at this point?

@chunter yes.

@foone Are these machines being acquired by alternate means, or by the means that the men in blue would approve (also, fuck them).

@Ricardus it seems they're basically being given away if you show up with a pickup
