We all know that Redbox raised thier prices for kiosk rentals. While .20 isn't earth shattering, can you imagine if prices went up 20% on everything?? We'd probably declare a personal finance state of emergency!! Through November 30 Redbox is STILL offering DVD rentals for $1.00 if you reserve them online (For the first night only, additional nights are $1.20.)
Have you ever tried the "reserve online" feature at Redbox?? If not, now may be a good time to give it a shot because you'll still pay the $1 charge we are all used to for the first night. Then as an added incentive, when you reserve your first movie online you'll get a code for a Free First Night Rental of another DVD!

I think we should call 2011 the year of the increase. First Netflix then peanut butter and now Rebox. What is a movie loving peanut butter eating person to do? (and how will this affect my Reece's peanut butter cups?) I was a long time Netflix user, but when I first heard of the increase I dropped them, I figured I wouldn't need streaming, and movie rentals were a $1.00 a night at Redbox. Like you said .20 isn't a huge increase, but it is 20%. So there I was again with no streaming and now no movies for a buck. Working at DISH I ofc ourse knew we had released the Blockbuster movie Pass, in the back of my head I was still in the 1990's with the blue shirted mafia after me for late fee's. But I decided to give it another shot and see if there were changes, and there are great changes. First off no late charges; those things were always evil. I pay $10.00 a month for dvd by mail which I usually receive in about 48 hours after renting, plus 20 movie channels on my television, and on demand streaming on both the television and computer. I went up a couple dollars from where I was with Netflix, but with all the increases, it was nice to get 3 months for free on the Movie Pass. Definitely a great replacement for DISH customers.
