Time to sell those ten-year old DVDs. NCR reached a licensing agreement with e-Play to manufacture DVD kiosks that can be used for rentals, sales or trade-ins of old DVDs.

Right now the kiosks are available as part of a pilot program in Columbus, Ohio (including the airport), but e-Play plans to expand the program to include stores in Georgia and North Carolina.

While it's not really clear how the trade-in system works, the kiosks can reportedly reimburse customers between 50 cents and $13 per DVD,and charge $2 to $25 per DVD. They can also scan DVDs for scratches.
