Where can you see what Redbox will get in the future? I always have to either wait until they put the new movies in the machine a few days before tuesday and look at the kiosk, or wait until Midnight on Monday to look at Redbox.com. I wish they showed future releases like Hollywoodvideo.com.

Yeah i know, but what i’m curious to know is why does Moviecube have some movies like The Reader (a universal release) when they are a kiosk rental service also, yet Redbox can’t get them. I know they are in a lawsuit with Universal but why is Universal treating Redbox poorly but not Moviecube? I wonder what the deal is there!

Did you sort by “Release Date” ? That’s the one that will show you movies that are already rented out.

Don’t always count on the poster being correct. In my case, Twilight was posted to be released on the 17th but didn’t actually come out for i think two weeks later. The poster on the side of the machine had it listed wrong. In my location, some of the posters are way out of date. One of the red boxes in my town didn’t get the posters updated for almost a month.

You know why Hollywood video will have it also, it is because they got to the store and buy copies of it to sell at their store. That is what they do at a store locally. They will go to Walmart and buy a bunch of copies of it and rent them at their regular price.

Just to check, on Monday I tried to use an “anonymous” (unregistered) Visa gift card again with no luck, since they changed the way they bill us I though it might start working again.

HOWTO: Get rid of obviously bogus codes on the list.

1. Click the little “Ball” next to the code, that will enter it into the box above.
2. Scroll up to the dark red section called “ADD / UPDATE REDBOX CODE”.
3. Use the selections there and report the code as invalid.
4. Smile.

IMPORTANT: More than a few people must report the code as bad to get rid of it.

Frost/Nixon will be in the machines later in the week due to it being universal.

Not true, Hollywood Video will almost always have it also. And by the way Moviecube has The Reader, and sometimes DvdPlay will carry movies Redbox doesn’t carry.
