My FIL works for Redbox….You are only partly correct…they drive to
Blockbuster, Kmart, Target, Walmart, and any other place that sells
movies shortly after midnite to purchase the Universal releases.

It would only seem fair that the restrictions on the kiosks are across the board. If you have two businesses that have similar business plans, how can you restrict one and not the other. I am not a legal expert, so if any of you are please post your opinions!! If redbox loses the lawsuit, they should just but the movies at retail, rent them, and then sell them used for $7 with a big FU to FOX and Universal. Obviously they will not be able to resale Sony and other companies that they have signed an agreement with.

ditto, i have 2 young kids, so going to the theater is out of the question, and my husband and i can’t always get a babysitter so i wouldn’t mind paying $2 a night. As of now, we pay $1.09 after taxes.

i agree, screw the companies! Ever since redbox came around my area, i have stopped going to Blockbuster, and Hollywood Video. I’m not paying $5 or $6 dollars to rent 1 movie. I plan to fully support redbox through all of this even if i have to wait 30 days. You say screw redbox, go to blockbuster then and pay your $5 for a movie, then see what you say!
And why are you even on this site if you have bad things to say about redbox?

Two dollars would alright. Considering the alternative. I would have to spend around 30.00 for my family to watch a movie in the theaters. I am willing to pay 2.00 for the convience of being at home.

I agree. Who wants to spend more money. I had a collection of VHS movies and technology got better I had to switch to DVD. Now Whats next?

2 weeks ago, Blockbuster launched the $1 Express Box in Orlando area. The same Kiosk concept as RedBox, sleek looking BlueBox. So, is Fox requesting distributors not to sell DVDs to Blockbusters for first 30 days.

For me personally, it’s not about how long I can keep the DVD or renting “high quality” Blu-Ray. I like it, because there’s a kiosk at a place where I am already shopping (Wal-Mart or a grocery store). I don’t have to drive to another store to pick up a movie, search around the store, and pay a higher price. It’s all about convenience. When I first began renting from RedBox, I think the whole thing of “doing it yourself” was another big appeal.

Like someone else who stated on here, I rent from RedBox before I go and purchase a $20 DVD, because of the crap that has been produced lately. There are very few movies where I will actually purchase even prior to this RedBox creation.

Way to go President Mitch Lowe!! I love the literal translation by Inside Redbox! Screw FOX!! :) Aren’t they already making enough money with Seth MacFarlane’s help? Or are they trying to give MacFarlane another idea for his episodes by fighting with RedBox? ;-)
