Redbox.com | Free 1 month of unlimited movie streaming + 4 1-day DVD rentals

Quote from jeremythecamel : (not bashing just asking) Do you think the new RedBox streaming si going to have anywhere near the amount of online content? Especially with the new Disney deal Netflix just announced.

I wonder if Verizon will be able to bring over on-demand cable content such as FEARNET?

Quote from halzeimers : I hope this doesn't take the focus off kiosks. Those of us with slow Internet speeds still want rental pickups. - sent by iPhone App Deals & Steals 3.5.8 -

ok...

I'll be watching this closely since Verizon is backing it and will want to make this profitable. I'm about to sign up for Amazon Prime for the streaming and occasional orders.

maybe netflix will integrate their dvd by mail back into the streaming package again to compete. I love competition.

Good to know. Keep us posted on your situation.

Quote from poignant : Wonder if streaming will include all movies available at Redbox, or if it will be similar to the current lacking selection available on Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Physical renting rights and streaming rights are two very different things if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks.

I am curious to see how this works, but it is definitely TBD. There is no way they have streaming rights to most of the recent titles they have in their kiosks.

This is a partnership with Verizon and the email says “Look for another email soon inviting you to try it out for one month free with subscription”. In my experience Verizon has never been involved in anything inexpensive.

I really like Netflix and we use the streaming a ton. They don’t seem to mind that the whole family (including kids at college) share one account.

As someone else stated, the competition can’t hurt

Quote from beganto : apply HERE [netflix.com]

So you got 1 year of free Netflix for applying to Netflix or actually getting a job there?

I love Netflix but we ain't married so if Redbox can deliver I'll be there. However, it's taken NF a while to build the content relationships they have and to create really good apps for various platforms and there is a lot to be said for a good user experience (Hulu Plus).

Only time will tell...

out of every 10 non-new movies i've searched on netflix, they actually carry maybe about 2 movies.

all i see is , "get in line" with a box to provide my email address. where is the form to signup??

Quote from primetime2113 : If they offer the same movies that are in the Kiosk...Netflix will be toast.

So would Redbox kiosks.
E.G. I want to watch a movie tonight. I could stream it immediately or I can drive down to the nearest kiosk and wait in line for the same movie behind a kid browsing everything Redbox has in stock. I think I'll take the drive because with Redbox streaming, that kid would have to be an idiot to use the kiosk... I'll bet there is no line!

Moral of the story: the offerings will NOT be the same for online and kiosk, at least not until they corner the streaming market and decide to get rid of the kiosks, in which case my original statement presides.

It says "Try it for one month free with subscription" Does that mean I can't cancel before the first month is up?
