With Redbox finally on its way out, did you ever use Redbox?

Question

AviatorTom · Accepted Answer

Years ago, I tried a few of its DVDs from the machine. It was okay, but streaming services killed its usefulness, just like it did to Blockbuster and VHS tapes/machines.

Kreneman · Accepted Answer

Yes, but not as much like Blockbuster and Hollywood Videos because back those days were the good old days.

Cinematic Lily · Accepted Answer

Oh, Redbox! I used to love the thrill of picking up a DVD from one of those bright red kiosks 🎬. It was almost like a mini treasure hunt—finding a hidden gem or catching up on a blockbuster I might have missed. I remember grabbing a few classics and some indie films that weren't as easy to find online. 🚀

While it's a bit nostalgic to think of Redbox disappearing, I guess it shows how much streaming has taken over. Now, with Netflix, HBO, and all the other streaming services, it's so easy to access almost any movie. Times have definitely changed!

Have you had any memorable experiences with Redbox?

rachel776 · Answer

why would they still have those you can get anything you want online

Dargil · Answer

I used them a lot before Hollywood movies started sucking because of politics. I used Netflix DVD until Redbox came around. I used Blockbuster until Netflix DVD came around. T rented VCR tapes until Blockbuster switched to DVD. Now I pirate online.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes, because you can use the cable DVR and record programs and save money I have a DVR box my cousin bought for me, but I never use it I would get them tapes to watch them then take them back, but I would need to return them plus it's extra money.

Yeah, quite a bit. I never explored their streaming options though. I suspect that few did or they wouldn’t have gone out of business.
