Redbox offering free video game rentals next week

Popular kiosk rental service Redbox has announced it will offer video game rentals for free next week.
Starting on Sunday, February 26th, Redbox customers will get their first day's rental for free. There are 30 different games available total for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii.

The rentals normally cost $2 per day, so gamers will get a very decent $2 discount for a game they probably would have rented, regardless. After the first night, the regular rate will apply.

A few of the games available include "Just Dance 3," and "COD: Modern Warfare 3."

There is one small catch, however. To get the free night, the games must be reserved online and a credit card must be provided. You can also use the company's iPhone and Android apps to make the reservation.
