Redbox - rent dvd’s for $1/day - BRILLIANT

For the last few weeks, I have been trying out the “Redbox” machine at my local Wal Mart. Basically, it is a machine about the size of a Coke machine, located right next to the Coke machines at many Wal Marts (and other places) across the country. You can rent DVDs from it for $1 per day, and your credit card is charged once you return the dvd. After renting several movies from it, I can honestly say that I love the service.
First of all, I live about 5 minutes from a Wal Mart, so it’s convenient. I can drive over there, pick up a dvd, go watch it, and then return it by 9pm the following day, all for a buck. That’s cheap!
The dvd itself is the retail dvd, just in a different case, so you are not missing out on anything that you would get if you bought it. The machine itself is very easy to operate, and within a few minutes, you can be in and out with a handful of dvds to go watch. You can even reserve movies online, so when you get to the kiosk, you just swipe your card, and it spits the movies out.
Yesterday, the movie Cloverfield came out on DVD. So at around 9 am, I went online and reserved that dvd in the machine at my local Wal Mart. Later that night, I went and picked it up, took it home, and watched it. All for a dollar.
Head over to Redbox to see if there is a location near you.
And no, they did not pay me to write this!
