OFFICIAL Redbox Free Rental Codes for new/existing customers, post other codes here too

Quote from ets : Huge fan of hers since she appereared in House, but check out the movie Butter to see her on a pole for a scene or two. The scene makes the movie worth the dollar.

Thanks again for the recommendation of "Butter". I finally got around to checking it out. Olivia Wilde is my new Mila Kunis.

The girl-on-girl action with Ashley Greene was also pretty good.

If nobody is going to use the video game code, I wouldn't mind taking it off your hand!

I have a Blockbuster Express code that I can't use since no more BBE kiosks exist in my area. Let me know if you're interested in it. If you can trade a Redbox movie code, that would be appreciated, otherwise no biggie.

T5GMHMNZ
Please post when used. Enjoy

T5GMHMNZ used. Unfortunately, the email I received about code T5GMHMNZ didn't state it was for 50 cents off, and I presumed it was a free code. But I see here it does state 50 cents.

So for anyone who received email updates, make sure you return here to see the full post :-)

DVDNIGHT still could be use!

Hey, i was just wondering... I rented Taken 2 (BLU-RAY) a few weeks back. And myself along with, too many to count, people reported they couldn't get the Redbox rentals to play on any of their machines. I personally tried it in a PS3, a two different Sony BR stand alone players, and two Samsung HTIB's failed to read on any of them. ...Had the same problem months back with the Artist (Blu-ray)

ANYWAY, just wondering if they ever sent out replacement discs or if someone has recently rented it. For all the time I spend asking the question & not getting a response on facebook I should just rent the DVD.

Rented Taken 2 a few weeks ago on Bluray and it worked fine on my Sony Bluray player.

Thanks for the feedback. Wondering if you could provide a tad more information. Model of the BDP player & if you know more specifically the date.
I must have posted it in another thread, but I believe I and others rented it on / near the generic Valentines day code.
Oh well, I'll give it another go either way.

I really enjoyed "Taken 2" (almost as the original), but I saw it at the theater, I didn't rent it. Bdub, did you update your Blu-ray player's firmware?

I rented it on 2/17 and the Sony BDP model # is S370. Hope that helps.

Interesting. So I wonder if A - they got different copies in different places or B - they replaced the bad copies. I also use a BDP-S370 and when I tried the copy that I received either during the Valentines day code ==OR= the Generic DWTFREE3/4 codes (the week before) it wouldn't be read by that player either. OK, I'll definitely give it a second shot, thanks again.

Yup, despite an awful experience with my very first Blu-ray Player having a bad firmware update - though it reported to have completed successfully (luckily it was under warranty so it ONLY put me out $15 to mail it down to Laredo, TX and have them completely ignore the letter explaining the problem) - all they did was erase & re-flash the new firmware making it about 90% Blu-ray compatible. After the bad firmware update it was had dropped from previously playing 100% of the Blu-rays attempted, to about 30%...

Anyway, yes the PS3, the Sony's BR players & the Samsung HTIB are all up to date with firmware. If it's one device it's usually the issue, something with the damnable copy protection not playing right with the device. But this was 5 devices from me & literally 100's more reports on the redbox facebook page in that day or two when someone mentioned others had the same issue & I should check it out. I'm confident the discs were a bad copy.
I got into reading an interesting thread on AVS forum about how seemingly to punish people like me, who 99% of the time rent only, some movie studios are providing a less stellar/less pristine usually 25GB Blu-ray version of the movie instead of the original 50GB versions. Apparently, the thought process behind the studio "geniuses" that came up with that one is that if people really like the movie they will pay to see the higher quality version & get the extras that some of these rental only discs have.
But.... Unless you know that going in, what is the average movie renter to think? Um, hey this movie looks like $#i+, glad I didn't blow $12-$18 bux on buying it.

P.S. I discretely marked the rental disc so I'd know if I rented the same one again.

With so many free codes flying around, how does Redbox make ANY money

Any code still available for online renting?
