AsburySkinsFan Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 These just started in our area and I love them, I'm just wondering if others have them and if they use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Judges Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 yup. I've used it once or twice. It's almost as good as ordering movies from my cable box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I love the fact that I can rent a movie for $1 per day, Blockbuster can bite me gee $4 per night or $1 per night...hmmmm....duh... I also love the fact that I can return the movie to any Red Box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bay Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I used Red Box a lot, up until recently. Got a subscription to NetFlix instead. Red Box is nice, but if there aren't any good movies out, which I don't think there have been in a while, then it's wasted potential. At least with NetFlix you can go back and watch old movies.

Corcaigh Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 We use them - they are in our local supermarkets. It's hit or miss whether they have anything you want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yeah, my wife and I use it probably twice a month. Pretty convenient and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Sweet! I assume you just enter those into the promo code section.Awesome! I wonder if they are smart enough to tie it to your credit card so you can't abuse the system ... as their intent is to offer just one free rental per person.

techboy Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 We have one in our grocery store, but I've never used it. I'm sure I'd end up leaving it around the house for a week or two and pay far more than I do for our Blockbuster online subscription which includes free in-store rentals (including games, because I'm grandfathered- can't get that now).

Actually, they even say it on their website, to share the codes. You only get 1 free day. They know by giving people 1 free day that most likely you will keep the movie for 2-3 days more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they publish a new code each week? Does the code only work on a certain day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the code only work on a certain day? each week about 20-25 more codes are released. Depending on your area, codes may or may not work. I have been using them since 2002 and I have yet to been called by redbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I used to use it all the time till they moved it somewhere else. I guess it wasn't popular enough at my preferred location. The next closest one is in a Wal Mart (blech) and it gets picked over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGreen28reigns Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 We now have them in the majority of grocery stores in our area. I haven't seen them in any Wal-marts. We like it much better then $4 a pop at Blockbuster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drop Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Yeah man, Red Box is awesome. I swing by there on Tuesday's if something good is coming out. And i also get the Red Box Free Movie Monday codes every Monday, but i never use them because there's too much good TV on Monday Nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know about the online codes until I started this thread, but I use them all the time now oh and BTW, Blockbuster can kiss my buttocks! For too long has there been an artificial price on movie rentals, Blockbuster almost fixed the problem when they eliminated late fees, but it still didn't stop the pain of $12+ for three movies on a weekend.

(Mom, Dad, kids) Yeah i hear ya....Red Box is much more financially friendly. The only down side to Red Box is the selection imo (if there's a decent low budget flick you've been looking forward to seeing, odds are Red Box may not have it). And of course if you want to get the MOST efficiency out of Red Box, it helps to have the movie back by 9 pm the night after you rent it so that you're only charged $1.05. However, keeping the movie for 2, 3 or even 4 days is still better than the price you'll pay at Blockbuster for a rental. Oh and one of the GREAT things about Red Box is their website, redbox.com. I love that you can see what kiosks in your area have what flicks, and that you can reserve movies to pick up later at the most convenient location. Pretty cool features if you ask me.
