Every single time I type it in there's a split second thought of "oh god am I about to end up on a porn site?" :-) My problem with redbox is the domain name.

Netflix (and the library) works a whole lot better for me. Different strokes for different folks.

I find it very convenient. It’s way cheaper than Blockbuster or other rental stores that seem to charge $4+ for a movie. I find it very convenient.

We use Red Box quite a bit. We became addicted when we lived in a small rural town big enough for a McDonalds but not a Hollywood Video. Thanks for the tip on the free rentals.

Their rent online, and pick up at a kiosk will ensure you don't have to drive to 5 different redboxes either, if you're just looking to go out and get a new release. I follow their press releases on their website, they'll soon be in Walgreens and Wal-Mart (on top of Festival Foods and Cub Foods, McDonalds) Give them your e-mail (or cell phone) when you sign up on their website and every monday they'll e-mail or txt you a free rental. Google "free redbox codes" and you'll get a few free rentals. Love the redbox.
