Redbox may be big winner following Netflix price hike

article published on 21 September, 2011

Based on the results of a recent survey, Redbox could be the biggest beneficiary of Netflix's decision to increase prices for combined streaming and disc rental plans. The report, from Minneapolis based Magid Associates, indicates more than half of Netflix customers already rent from Redbox and a significant number of those expect to rent more from the industry leading kiosk-based service. ... [ read the full article ]

Redbox needs online streaming.

Redbox in my area is 1.15, I was told that the extra change was a project to see if people would still rent if the price go up that much but it will not stay permanently. glad my state doesn't have sales tax I would of ended up paying 1.23 this only for dvd though, blu ray and video games price still remain the same.

I'm not about to switch to redbox...no selection. That's why I switched to BB. Netflix/Quickster can kiss it!

Blockbuster is on its way out. Now however, If Netflix subscribers jump ship, it might be an opportunity for BB to get back into the action. I started with BB but after it changed its rules too many times, I left and went to netflix. They seemed to offer better customer respect (albeit a few minor quirks with the service). I used Redbox during my last couple months of being a Netflix customer. I just didn't want to wait for the dvds anymore, and for $1 who cares right? Once I moved I discovered my local library has a huge selection of dvd's, tv, and blu-rays. Free of charge. 5c late charge per day. I go here for my oldies and still use Redbox for new releases at times. I'll never go back to BB because of their bait & switch habits, and Netflix obviously took a change for the worst.

The rate increase at NetFlix caused me to start looking at alternative sources. I've had a very positive experience with Redbox using their online reservation system. In one week, I caught up with all the recent big hit movies from Redbox while NetFlix showed that I had a "Very Long Wait" for each them.
