Wow! Can you believe August is here already? Its been a pretty lame summer for movies overall, but we can look forward to some great releases through the rest of the year.
Also, some new features over a Redbox.com will be of a great help. And, you can bet on some new things coming here at InsideRedbox, too…
QUESTION OF THE WEEK (+ NEW FEATURE)
Our last question had to do with your preference of movie genre. As expected, we all have various types of movies we like. It seems every style was represented, and I am sure Redbox will continue with a good mix into the future.
As I mentioned, Redbox is going to beadding a new feature to their website very soon. This feature will allow you to check what movies are currently available in your local Redbox. What I want to know this week, is will you use it?
Question: Will you use the Redbox.com website to check if what you want to see is in the Redbox before going out to pick-up a movie?

NEW RELEASES
This week’s major releases are: The Shaggy Dog and V for Vendetta. I will add the other releases as I find out what they are.
Also, last week had some good releases, too, with the major releases of The Benchwarmers, Final Destination 3, and Deep Water.
And, as you have probably noticed, Redbox is continuing to add TV shows to the mix. But my question is when will they add the most popular shows, like 24, Lost, Numb3rs, Smallville, etc…

I am not sure of the Redbox revenue model for TV shows, but it seems they could do a big service to the television networks by getting people hooked on their shows. The networks could provide the DVDs for free to Redbox, and Redbox just does some “advertising” for them, and everyone is happy. Is this how it is happening? I would love to know…
REDBOX CODES
As you may have noticed, there haven’t been too many new codes added over the summer. There are still a good number of codes working, and with the “reset” glitch Redbox had a few weeks ago, it bought a lot of us the ability to reuse previously used codes.
Anyway, I expect to see more codes as we come into the fall. Who knows, though? Stay tuned and we will see what happens together.
COMING NEXT WEEK…
Since all of you contribute a great deal to this site, I want to help you… About 20 of you will get $1000 or more just for completing 1 free offer. I will explain all the details next week, so stay tuned.
In the mean time, tell your friends about this website. The more people who know about this site, the more that will be able to receive the $1000.
Tell a friend or two about InsideRedbox.com today…
Have a great week, and make sure you tell us about the movies you have seen in the Redbox Movie Forum.
Until next time…

Wahoo! I am going to use this and look forward to when it’s activated.
yes…why not…talk about making it easy to ge what you want for next to nothing. thanks.
I would check sometimes, but would understand that perhaps the movie I was seeking would be gone by the time I got there. Ohter times, I would just show up and get what appeals to me then.
I would definitely check to see if the movie I want is available. Terrific idea. Saves time.
Yes, I would love to see if the movie is available. It would be even better if it would allow me to place a hold on a movie for an hour until I could get it.
Yes, that would be great!
I don’t have the internet at home, but I would definitely go to the site before going to redbox. That would definitely save some time.
Yes, that would be great to be able to check the available movies before driving to the nearest Redbox. For me it isnt far…but not that close either. The ‘hold for an hour’ idea is good too. Ive walked away from a Redbox empty handed several times due to low availability of decent movies and nobody likes a wasted trip.
You bet I will use it! It is so much easier to give the kids a choice of what to see BEFORE we are standing in line fighting about it! I can’t wait!
I will definitely use the new feature!
I think it will be pretty cool. I have 4 locations that are close to where I live, now instead of going to all 4 in search of a movie, I’ll be able to see them online. This keeps on getting better all the time.
I think that is a great feature!why not…talk about making it easy to ge what you want for next to nothing. thanks.
How many of each title is in the red box?
