A few weeks ago, I was excited to receive the “You’re In” email from Redbox for their new Redbox Instant streaming service. I was excited to see a competitor to Amazon and Netflix for lots of new movies. But today, I closed my account. I’m still optimistic to revisit Redbox Instant in the future, even though I closed it. 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. My family loves Redbox from the kiosk and we generally get one or two movies a month. So, a combination streaming subscription with kiosk credits from the ‘box’ is a really nice proposition.
