Why not have a red box?

Redbox is not going anywhere. Here in Texas lots of Dollar General, Freds etc have them and they do a land office business. Totally automated, an attendant drops by to change the titles, if you keep it more past 9 PM after the day you rent it, they charge your card another day, until you bought the movie for $20, the maximum charge.
They have them in lots of Walmarts, who sell the movies for $5-$20 inside the store, and they still do well. They would work fine at a truckstop. Just drop them a line and I'll bet you see them...
Not everybody has the ability to download movies, their internet service is shaky in lots of rural areas, or not available.

 

My point is the quantity of lost inventory and cost of lost business, I am well aware on how the process of movie rentals work.

 

Red box = block buster in a few more years.

 

its not lost inventory when you get paid for it. Not to many people run off with a DVD from red box there well let's say over priced!

 

The Nintendo generation getting more and more keen to torrents has pretty much killed any dvd or blu ray business. Couple that with the eleventeen million online streaming sites and red box has one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel.

 

To say the least...

1.20$ (where I'm at) per day for a normal dvd, 20 days out, you own it for the normal sale price of 20$ PLUS all the rented time. (So that adds up to (1.2*20)+20=$44)

Could've changed, I haven't read their TOS in quite a while.

As for torrents and so on, some of us "have" to keep our noses clean... And in my case, someone paid to make the movie and put the effort into it.. Least I can do, even if they are already millionaires and rich out the ###, is honor their hard work with a couple dollars. Seems like a fair trade to me.

 

I doubt redbox goes anywhere anytime soon and I'm sure they just haven't had the idea of using truck stops yet maybe we should start emailing them and let them know we would love to use their kiosks ifbthey would put them in truckstopd

 

Heh, I hope you kept that email! If it happens, you are owed some compensation for the idea! Haha!
