I think this is a big breakthrough for the rental market. The red kiosk all around the place in America would make a killing. I wonder how this would affect the likes of Netflix? Not too much at all because they're streaming in HD on all platforms right now. Great idea and excellent information and article Richard. ]]>Jun 3rd 2010 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/
I think that the ability to purchase used dvds from the Redbox is great. What would sweeten the deal even more is if they then mailed you the original DVD box.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/
That and make their new kiosks round and call them blueballs. ;)]]>Jun 3rd 2010 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/Jun 3rd 2010 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/Jun 4th 2010 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/

Not to mention they started playing games with me and taking a week to drop the next DVD in the mail.
On-line HD rentals average $4.50.
So a Redbox Blu-ray for $1.50-$2 would work nicely for me. It wouldn't be my exclusive source for rentals, of course.
If the packaging wasn't included with a purchase, I don't know that I'd want it, even at the lower purchase price. But Blu-rays are still new to me. I may change my mind over time.

What's worse, you're undoubtedly reinforcing this absurd error among kids who read your site. no wonder we have high school graduates who can't write to save their lives. Drop the "there's" for plural objects, PLEASE! (You wouldn't say: "There is errors," would you? Or: "There has been errors?" So why do it with a contraction? There ARE errors, and there HAVE BEEN errors--but, hopefully, no longer! ]]>Jun 4th 2010 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/Jun 4th 2010 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/Got a netflix blu movie in last week that did the same thing. 'ninja assasin' wouldn't let me skip the previews, so I left the room for a while. It was also marked 'rental' like most movies I get, and have no bonus features.

Unfortunately for the studios, keeping the rentals from netflix, redbox, etc for a few weeks and then keeping the extras off of the discs is not motivating me to buy instead of rent.]]>Jun 7th 2010 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/Jun 5th 2010 1:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/Jun 5th 2010 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/Jun 5th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/Jun 7th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/redbox-ceo-suggests-1-50-rate-for-blu-ray-rentals/Jun 8th 2010 5:26AM
