anyone seen the redbox machines at wal-mart and mcdonalds?

redbox

basically a dvd rental machine that basically keeps movies out over the past 4 - 6 months sometimes longer sometimes less time i think it just depends on how many are being rented etc...

you use a credit card or debit card to rent the movies just cost a dollar for 24 hours.

I use them every once in awhile, but if you go to their website you can put in your phone number or email and they will email you or text message you on monday with a code so you can get a free rental... i take advantage of this when i don't forget.

pretty nifty just thought i'd pass the word around.

Well you never know...it could be a machine by a different company for all I know. All I know is that they have something extremely similar there. I'll be sure to check the next time I'm there.

We have one in the grocery store. It's nice to have though we don't use it much. The only times I remember using it is days when no netflix arrived.

advantage these machines have over netflix is that you can return the movie to any location and get more movies right then and there, no wait...

but netflix advantage is alot wider selection of movies.
