Redbox is great! Except when you get to the kiosk and the machine cannot give you the movie you rented online because they are doing some type of inventory. Then you have to wait and wait until hopefully you try for the 4th time at the specified location to see if the machine is working! So frustrating. Think I wasted more gas and time to get the movie I rented online than just going to Blockbuster. Seems Redbox should know when their machines are not working and not allow you to rent if the machine is truly doing an ‘inventory’. I know they give a ‘free’ rental code when you call to complain but you then you can’t get the new release you were supposed to get!!

Redbox Rocks!
They offer newer release movies than Netflix.
Who wants to wait 30 days to see a new release.
I can pick up a movie at several locations when on my way home –
Wal-Mart, Mc Donald’s, HEB Grocery (here in Texas), Valero, and Exxon.

There is a Mc Donald’s and Wal-Mart in every town making Redbox very convenient.

For the price you can’t beat, but it does not have every movie and you still have to go pick it up and drop it off. Great deal for some, but for me who watches a lot of movies I still prefer Netflix.

I love the business model for Redbox. The automation is pure beauty.
