    Have any of you used redbox?

    I rented a movie last night using redbox, and I'm quite impressed. The movie selections are pretty current so I'm a huge fan!

    Your first rental is free if you subscribe to the mailing list. Also, there's an option to receive text alerts and then you're set for a free one-night DVD rental every Monday in May.

    Pretty rad.

    Thanks for the link, Cate!

    There's one very close to me, and never heard of it.
    My previous rental place closed up - perfect timing.

    I just use Netflix. I order online, I get one and a half day turn around. If I am juggling 3 discs at all times, I am never dry for a flick.

    On topic: So redbox is like at the store or something? Or are they trying to take Netflix out? Blockbuster online sucked and I haven't been in a real video store since I worked in one in the late 90s.

    It's like a combo deal - go online to rent it, go to the store and pick it up. pretty sweet, you're in and out.

    I use Netflix too and love it! They have a great turn around time, and I just drop them in the mailbox when I'm done.

    I love Redbox.....Charlotte has them at all of the Harris Teetors. It's just a buck. Rent online or at the machine. Drop off at any location and not required to return to the original pickup loc, new releases on Tuesday just like Blockbuster, always due back the following day at 9pm no matter what time you rent it....it's great! Even when I run a couple days late returning it, the price only runs a $1 per day charge......still cheaper and quicker and more convenient than Blockbuster anyday.

    That's how much rental prices should be in the first place. Can't believe I had to pony up 6-9 bucks before for one movie at Blockbuster. Greedy s.o.b.s.

    Has anyone used the Redbox website to reserve a movie from the blackberry? I know i've done this in the past and it worked great. But somethings changed and now I cannot get the site to load. I've tried enabling/disabling many different browser settings but no luck. Is anyone else having the same problem??
    Thanks,
    JC

    I have Netflix which takes care of most of my movie wants. New released seem to get held up quite often with Netflix, so that's where the three Redboxes in my town come in real handy. With Redbox's online rental feature, I was able to snag Inglorious Basterds, The Hangover, and District 9 without any headache.

    Redbox is what we used to call a woman's woo-hoo on a certain day of the month.

    You know, they have a apps for redbox now, you can browse what is available and reserve a movie from your phone, read about the movies, parental ratings, BUT it is not supported for Blackberry.

    Go to http://www.change.org/petitions/redb...ckberry-phones and sign this petition so you to can get the same redbox experience that iPhone and Android users have, Thank You
