Why Haven't You Tried Redbox Yet?

Redbox, a subsidiary of Coinstar is putting the corner video store out of business left and right. It's an amazing invention really and easily accessible as more and more supermarkets (all chains too) and 7-11's are carrying them.

Instead of signing up for Netflix or paying $4-5 to rent a movie at your neighborhood video store, simply visit a Redbox, which is in actuality a kiosk in the shape of a red box, and rent any dvd for $1/day. It makes so much sense. I mean, why do you need a dvd for four days? Why should you pay $4+ to RENT a dvd when you can own one for sometimes $10?

Visit your local Redbox, use the touch-screen and pick a recently released (yes recent) or an old, classic dvd, swipe your credit card and you're all set. Return it the next day by 9pm to any (yes any) Redbox location and be charged $1 plus tax. Redbox charges your card when you return your dvd.

The cherry on top is that Redbox has started to build a nice fan following, sort of a community. Visit www.insideredbox.com and get codes for rent 2 get 1 free rentals and other deals.
