We had stopped Netflix a few months ago because we weren't watching enough movies to justify the expense. I like Redbox because you can get new releases without the wait, free rental codes, and you don't end up losing money if you are busy.

We never used nexflix but we LOVE redbox. It is wonderful with the exception you have to go back into the store to return and it is very easy to grab something while you are there.

We only use Redbox if we are out of town - I still love Netflix. I like that we can keep a movie as long as we want - my kids are still at an age where they want to watch a movie more than once, so I like no late fees.

We also like to watch some older movies, too, and we don't always find something we like at Redbox. If we are on vacation and hit a rainy day, it is a great resource, though.

Our Walmart still has Redbox and nothing else. Is it the same price as Redbox?

I had actually stopped using Redbox and went back to Netflix. But now, I am not using either, to save money.
I liked being able to pick just about any movie, and I would forget to return movies to Redbox.

We use both. Netflix is how we watch cable series since we only have basic, basic cable and series that are on late (we're just starting season 3 of Medium). Also, their documentary selection is pretty good and some of their BBC selections.

We'll usually get a movie from redbox on a weekend when we don't have anything else to watch. We see most new releases from redbox.

Yup, its same price as Redbox. The one at 'my' store is in the front entrance next to the bottle return and the soda machines, and its a BLUE box for movie rentals. I was tempted to try it the other day. Its raining today, probably a good day to try it out.

We stopped using Netflix and mostly use the library - do have to wait a while sometimes but I have gotten enough free codes to get mostly caught up on movies using Rddbox - not that I would mind spending $1 on a movie. If it is too long of a wait at the library I have used Redbox. May start using the one in the grocery store though instead - saves me a light (and a long one) - it isn't Redbox but a competitor - been around here longer than Redbox. I wish there were more movies out right now - I really want to see a new movie but there is nothing new out that we want to see that we haven't already seen - well except Watchmen and we might rent it this week.
