Ok just searched the internet and discovered it's good until 8/1/12. So I went ahead and got one. It is in fact got until 8/1/12. Go ahead and get it now and save it until a game comes out you want to try or the stock in your favorite redbox fills back up.

This is great. It looks like I'll be doin' some super slow-mo bullet-time action this weekend! Actually I'll probably be painting or mowing or something like that... My priorities are all messed up.

Like a charm. Just text them "stop" afterwards so that you won't be receiving more texts from RedBox.

Many of you might be wondering "what games would be well suited for a 1 day rental?"

To this end, I discovered http://howlongtobeat.com
All of the following games have a main story completion time of under 9 hours:
Portal 2, Bastion, Super Mario 3D Land, Mirror's Edge, The Secret of Monkey Island, Amnesia the Dark Descent, Sonic Generations, Ico.

Also most AAA Shooters have pretty short main stories: Uncharted 1 and 3, Dead Space 2, Bulletstorm, Modern Warfare 1, 2, and 3, and Black Ops, Killzone 3, Battlefield 2 and 3, Half Life 2 Episodes, Left 4 Dead.

@vorosh: Super Mario 3D Land has at least double that content after you get through the main story and unlock more. But they don't rent 3DS games at Redbox, do they?

I do recommend New Super Mario Bros. Wii. There's a fun multiplayer challenge mode with up to 4 players. I don't recommend 4-player cooperative, though. Stick with 2 or less.

Just bought the refurb Kinect sensor, so this will be a perfect companion for trying a game out. Thanks!

The last free code i got so I could rent a game I ended up getting Saints Row The Third. I go so hooked on the game that I rented it for 3 days and then went and bought it.

Worked after I got my iPhone to stop autocorrect the tryus without a space. Used mine to try the kinect part of tc grfs highly disappointed in the final product, but this deal saved me $60

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
