Merged: The Movies Thread

[saden1]

I have Netflix and I recently tried RedBox and it's a pain in the ass...more trouble than it's worth if you're lazy like me....$1 dollar a night will turn into $3 rental quick. It doesn't help that some people take 5 min to find something they like...movie dispenser is sooooo freaking slow. And what's up with how movies are returned? Is it too much to ask to let me insert the god damn disk and walk away without having to lineup?

REDBOX Rocks! You need to learn how to use it best and that is on-line.

I go on-line check local Red Boxes for their inventory select what I want and reserve it. I usually do this Friday morning and get whatever new movies are out. So come Friday night after work I stop by pick up my hard to find New Release for a buck. Then drive by Blockbuster and wave to all the folks who have gone there to find out that the movie they wanted is sold out and they are now renting Out of Africa for five bucks.

yeah, I rent from machines now. There's one in safeway that charges a buck fifty/night. I usually keep a movie for only one day and pass by there every day, so its very convenient, cheap, and it always has the movie i want.
