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

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

Not really Netflix's fault. They're throwing money and content owners left and right but the suits in Hollywood don't want to move to new models. It's all about the cash.

Quote from SlickDealio : Me too, except I also have 2 years of Hulu Plus from Bing Rewards [bing.com]. Redbox is always giving out codes for free rentals too. http://slickdeals.net/f/693018-OF...s-here-too

How did you get 2 free years of Hulu Plus? I've been paying for two years. lol

I only use Redbox to rent movies that aren't readily available on Netflix. Now as far I see it, RB and NF and AMZ are all in the same situation where they will be showing mostly the same titles with some variation. Right now, NF has the better app and variety over AMZ (have you tried browsing for titles?) and RB will apparently be limited in TV selections. Hulu is mainly TV and some films. Now, I have AMZ for the shipping and Prime but I use NF to stream because it's just a smoother experience and easier to search through their database.

They won't be able to offer same movies streaming that they have at kiosks. Wonder what all they'll have.

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.

No. And don't get me wrong I still have netflix and will probably not cancel anytime soon. Just saying, that day is approaching with so many other options that keep on coming available. It aint 2010 anymore

I must've missed that disney announcement - good stuff

Quote from JDubTrey : I need to see more details. This won't have TV shows so I'm not sure if families with kids would dump NF for this.

true, unless hulu plus can cover the shows they watch

They have an uphill battle---my TV, Blu-ray, Roku, and WD TV Live all have built in Amazon and/or Netflix if not both. I don't fancy going back to watching stuff on my computer and without proper 5.1 surround. The main problem is me -- I get distracted opening windows and webbrowsing

You just do searches on Bing. You have to sign up for Bing Rewards [bing.com]. You earn points and you can redeem them for things like Microsoft Points, Hulu Plus, Amazon gift cards, etc.

I signed up probably 2 years ago. Back when it first started they gave out 3 month Hulu Plus gift cards. Once in awhile they would go on sale. I got enough for 2 years of credit. You can still get Hulu Plus subs, but only 1 month codes are available. You can technically have up to 5 Bing Rewards accounts per household according to them TOS.

Anyway...slowly you should be able to get enough credits for something. Just make it habit to do all your searches each day. I usually just do some random search and then click the related searches over and over again.

Quote from frd1963 : 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!

In high traffic areas like my town, each place has multiple redbox kiosks to counteract that annoying middle school kid who hogs the machine.

Quote from steppedinit : I imagine you can cancel after the first month.

too much work...pass...but thanks..

Just wait and see, competition and selection is good. I use NF on 3 Rokus, 2 phones, 3 computers and a laptop, for the price it's pretty decent but a lot of the content is stuff you would never watch or for most people who work for a living, ever have time to watch. It seems like these streaming services are striking "exclusive" deals with certain studios so it may just be a hop and a skip away from being like cable or satellite where you have to pay for different packages to get what content you want to watch, only now it's gonna be like 5 different streaming services at $50 a month cause no 2 will have the same stuff.

Thanks for the information. I never knew about this at all. The most I've gotten is 3 free months of Hulu which got me addicted in the first place.

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

You are correct.
