Anyone use Redbox?

You know those Redbox machines that offer $1 videos? You've probably seen them in the grocery store, Walmart, etc. Are these a good deal, or should they be avoided like the Coinstar machines should be avoided?

I use them all the time. Just make sure to return them the next day. You can find free codes pretty easily, but it's a great deal for $1

They work as advertised. I think they even have late return time now too (9pm).

I <3 RedBox

I love them it's easy to just pick a movie and watch it.

What is the fee if you return the movie late?

Another $1/day until you hit $25 then you own the movie. Also you can check online if they have it available to rent before you go there.

I like redbox. It is easy to rent movies. I also like coinstar. My daughter likes to get itunes. If you get itiunes or other gift codes it is free.

I use them about once a month. If you look online, you can get promo codes for free movies.

I use them all the time. Never had a problem. You can't beat the price.

I've used it several times also and would do so again. Getting the movie you want is the only drawback like anywhere.

Yup, Redbox is a sweet deal. Why pay $4 for a movie from Blockbuster when you can pay $1 from Redbox?

Redbox is a great deal. Just make sure you keep a mental note that you just spent $1.07 everytime you use the service because they do not give you a recepit.

Are the movies current and the latest ones out? I've seen one similiar to it in Publix supermarket but I don't think that it is called Redbox.

yes I love Redbox -- I wish They had more of a selection but I can't complain.

I've now used Redbox and love it. I normally can buy something in the grocery store as well. It's a good deal, although if it's far away the gas might be the problem.
