Had my first red box experience the other day

I've seen the around, have looked at some of the movies inside and thought "hmm I might actually wanna see that tonight" but usually I'm in a rush and don't have time to sit there and leaf through, Tuesday though I said WTH. So I stood in front of the little Red Kiosk of Blockbuster Destruction(what, its true they may not have every movie but a buck a day and around the corner beats most Blockbuster videos anyday) and I made my selections Tuesday it was "predators" on Blu-ray, Takers and Sorcerer's Apprentice on DVD (Sorc App of course I saw at the theater blog around here somewhere). Now Predators I watched Tuesday night pretty simple stuck it in the BRP, and enjoyed the trip to their world.

Things weren't all peaches and cream though it seems my BRP didn't want to play the DVD's which was fine, I wanted to play them on my PC anyway. Thing is my PC was tripping(actually I was but lets not rush the story okay), it was playing all the background noise(hint that I didn't take Tuesday night) just not the voices. So I say whatever that night and decide its late lets go ahead and take it down and try again tomorrow, that would be yesterday wednesday.

So I wake up decide to take predators back(why pay an extra buck fitty when I got to see that one), and while running a few errands I decided to check out "Superman & Shazam: return of Black Adam". Needless to say I figure I'll get this figured out I've watched DVD's on my PC before, so I start the movie same thing all players:gom would play the sound but not the video, WMP same thing, RP acted a fool and I didn't even try QT. As my VLC had just been updated I knew couldn't be the program. So I started going in depth with my audio set up, and looked at the speakers 5.1 (default and thus checked), 2 front 2 rear, stere, mono and something else thats slipping my mind right now.

As I thought about it I started count speakers, I got 2 top and a bass. Wait, 2 top "dammit man" 2.1 not 5.1 I dont have the center or 2 rear so VLC was treating my current as Bass and 2 rear(your bass is the .1) so I switched the audio to stereo and "Waaaaaaa"(think divine intervention sound). So I watched Supes and Cap Mar, as well as Sorc App and called it a night(worked out a little bit too but thats another blog). So I'm liking Red Box, they might not have all the Blu-rays I want but as far as around the corner selection and easy to get to I'm liking Red Box
