A couple weeks ago the small city I live in finally got a redbox kiosk. This morning I finally got around to using the service to rent two DVD’s, “21″ and “Jumper”. I just picked them from the kiosk this morning, and so far the service is super easy and convenient. Each DVD costs $1.00+tax as apposed to the video store which is now charging over $4.00+tax. I checked the redbox website and new titles are added every Tuesday (though not sure about time of day).
In any case, if redbox can sustain it will certainly put a damper on the sales of local video stores. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Netflix offer its own kiosk down the road, in fact I would become a Netflix subscriber again at the drop of a hat if they offered something like this.
Now redbox needs to add Blu-ray titles sometime in the near future.

Congrats on getting the Redbox. It is so much better than the video store. As for the Tuesday additions, they are in prior to Tuesday, but I’m not sure exactly what time they are available.
