Show me a RedBox that has Blu-ray. Heck, when you email them, the company itself can't identify which ones have Blu-ray and which don't. Their reply to me. Just drive to every RedBox in your area and check. When I asked how to easily identify, they told me to look at several (10-20) movies in the machine and see if any have Blu-ray as an option.
So, yes, I've reverted back to DVD for rentals. NetFlix can't get new releases (DVD or Blu-Ray) and RedBox can't identify which have Blu-ray. Blockbuster is way to expensive...so I give up.

No doubt. If they just made it easy to find out where they blu-rays are I'd get them from Redbox. But like you said it's impossible to know.
