Does anyone know what the new releases are placed in the Redbox kiosks? I wanted to reserve one online but not finding any available.

If you read the post from “UBM” the other day you would know that he said he was talking to a Redbox employee while he was filling up the machine and that is what he told him, so I guess you could say that’s from the “source” NOT and assumption. And maybe they didn’t think everyone would abuse the codes as much as they did and that’s why “it is a big deal now”. And while we’re on the subject, your other post about the email superceding the website is not necessarily correct either. If they meant “every month until August” or whatever that’s probably what it would say, not “every month” so I think it is going to continue but that’s really anyone’s guess right now. So anyway to quote you ….”Don’t be ridiculous”!

The redblog entry announcing the changes has lots of complaints some things don’t work on different browsers.

Source? Or is this an assumption/guess?

They certainly could do this, but then again they could have done it before now. With Monday codes ending this seems a little like locking the barn door after the horses are gone, if it didn’t matter to them before why is it a big deal now?

i like the change – it took care of my first complaint about the site. i remember “way back when” it was hard to tell whether or not a movie was available at a specific kiosk. The difference was the text for Available Locations was indicated by being slightly more bold. It was so subtle it was very hard to tell. A previous update made the difference look much more clear, but NOW there it is extremely obvious whether you can “RENT” or just “View Other Titles.”

Hmmm, I don’t have any trouble when using Firefox, either.
