I know Sweetbay and Walmart have Red Box Kiosk that we use. Just pick a movie $1 for DVD, $1.50 for Blue Ray, Swipe your credit card, enter email if you want a receipt. Good for 1 Day.

There is a Block Buster in the shopping center on Beunes Aires right next to a Publix. I know that is kind of far for you but that is the only one I know of.

Just want to make sure you aware of another option. Since I was given a Netflix gift certificate last year, I have not been to a video store. Fast turn around, streaming video, lots of selections....

This may not fit your requirement, but we have been happy with the service.

Not trying to sell Netflix . We live in MA and here (TV), we just change the address on our Netflix account as we move back and forth between places.

Default Many of the Publix's in the Villages have Blockbuster kiosks.

All of the Publixs here in the Villages have Blockbuster Express kiosks in them. You can even reserve a DVD online and then pick it up from the kiosk. They are very inexpensive too even if the choices are not that broad. http://www.blockbusterexpress.com/find-kiosk/

The publix in Colony has a blockbuster kiosk. Sweet bay has the red box kiosk.

Netflix is a great option... $9 a month for one DVD by mail and the ability to steam lots of content ... Movies and TV to your television via Internet. I gave up on blockbuster.
