Has anyone seen these, they are so neat! you can rent movies for $1.00 per nite and have them back by 9pm. I rented one today, you can go to redbox.com and get a free promo # and rent one for free, when I was at the site they have a redbox at walmart muscle shoals in the lobby part and 2 at walgreens in florence. what does everyone think of this new idea, its cheaper than going to a rental store and has all the lastest movies

Not exactly a buyout. The company was funded by McDonald's (47%) and Coinstar (47%), its just that Coinstar purchased McDonald's half last year. (the 6% is owned by people who worked at a startup Redbox acquired when they were starting out) They do have competitors like Moviecube and DVD Express, but all of them are privately held to my knowledge.

Another site that provides free/discount codes is insideredbox.com
I have honestly never tried them, but I've seen them and wondered about their success rates. I enjoy Netflix when I have time and I have a package where you can get them online instantly as well as through the mail. It's hit and miss with me. I may go weeks without using it and then watch several over the course of one rainy weekend.

I may have to try the whole Redbox thing. It is certainly priced right.

Just playing Devils Advocate!


I think you are assuming that its like a normal video store where there's a chance it can not have it. You can go online and reserve the movie at a designated stand.

No doubt OnDemand and online netflix is the future, but neither can beat the quality or price of a automated machine yet.
