A few weeks ago, I was excited to receive the “You’re In” email from Redbox for their new Redbox Instant streaming service. Â I was excited to see a competitor to Amazon and Netflix for lots of new movies. Â But today, I closed my account. Â I’m still optimistic to revisit Redbox Instant in the future, even though I closed it. Â In the end, convenience won out of some of the Redbox service’s very compelling features.
An Enticing Bundle…
One of the things that I found really enticing about Redbox Instant is the way that Redbox is bundling the streaming service along with video rentals at the kiosk. Â My family loves Redbox from the kiosk and we generally get one or two movies a month. Â So, a combination streaming subscription with kiosk credits from the ‘box’ is a really nice proposition.
