I'm a fan of the box! I think it was a forward thinking cool idea. I am also a night owl, so renting at 1:00 A.M. is important to me. I am currently using a JVC RS-10 video projector, which is projected on to a 7 foot diagonal screen, viewed at 13 feet. This magnifies every imperfection on a DVD. While the picture still looks excellent because of up conversion, it doesn't quite have the BLAM factor of BD. BD, on this rig looks STUNNING, so when I rent, I hit Blockbuster first, and try to find whatever title that I want on BD first. </p> <p>Here is my idea to get them to put Blu-ray in to their machines: From a business viewpoint, if they rent out all of the titles on a Tues. anyway, why bother with BD which will have less potential customers? Help me out here people! So my idea to get them to do it would be a financial incentive. I would be willing to pay 1/2 dollar or maybe even a dollar more for BD. Hopefully the daily late charges would remain the same. That would still be a great price. What do you all think? How can we get them to include some BD? I live in a suburb of Chicago, where most of the kiosks are at Jewel Foods. I have never yet seen a BD disk in our area. </p> <p>Any ideas to tell the powers that be at Red Box? </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/did-redbox-make-a-major-blunder-when-they-dropped-the-weekly-promo-code#post-92 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 07:15:24 +0000 rbrannan 92@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>My thought is YES! At the end of the summer, I'd like to see Redbox come out with a quarterly statement showwing if their sales increased OR DECREASED! I think they made a major blunder when they dropped the weekly code. Not only was it a public relations slap-in-the face to their loyal patrons, BUT my bet is that the use of those weekly promo codes generated big bucks for Redbox. Probably at least 30% of those using the code didn't return the dvd(s) within a day,therefore being charged the $1 for each additional day. This is revenue "earned" that they likely would not have earned at all by the users of the weekly promo code. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/blu-ray-tracking#post-176 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 07:44:00 +0000 dontspamjay 176@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>I think it would be a good idea for people to post where they've seen Blu Ray movies, just like they do for Codes. Something like this would give a decent idea of where you can find them:</p> <p>Walgreens at 123 Elm St. (8/3/09) [Movie Name]</p> <p>I have yet to find any and I've been looking for awhile. Any chance we can start tracking this InsideRedbox? Using both the iphone app and the website to do this would be great. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/blu-ray-at-redbox#post-119 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 19:24:33 +0000 WaltCD 119@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>I haven't been able to find any Blu-ray titles at Redbox kiosks here in Las Vegas, even at the Wal-Mart stores.</p> <p>How readily are they available across the country? Anybody having luck finding them?<br /> Are they still just a dollar? Did the promo codes work for them?</p> <p>I thought I'd be waiting until Blockbuster got big into the kiosk business before I'd find Blu-rays available (Blockbuster's colors are blue, after all). But reviewing this site, and others, it seems "BluBoxes" are not too far away.</p> <p>Walt D in LV </p>
