Redbox

I wanted to let you know about Redbox. Many of you might not know what Redbox is. Well, it’s a machine, that’s red, put into stores like Wal-mart and grocery stores around the nation. They rent out DVD’s and video games for a mere $1/night. What a concept. Sometimes the line will be so long at Redbox of people renting or waiting to return.

They have all the new releases for rent, as well as older titles. Some, or many actually, of the older movies you can purchase for about $7. They are used. If you happen to forget to ever take your DVD back, don’t worry, you are only charged up to 21 days (at the $1/night rate) then it is yours to keep. Pretty good for those forgetful brains out there.

I also wanted to let cell phone users, who have text to sign up on http://www.redbox.com for promo texts. Why? Because they’ll send you a code every Monday (and some Wednesdays) for a free movie. All summer, every Monday and Wednesday I was there at Redbox renting a new movie (or two) and returning it the next day. The returning it part is the sucky part because you don’t REALLY want to drive back to the store to do it. But it must be done and its worth it for such low prices!
