Redbox DVD / Blu-ray Video rental Service Gains Popularity

New video rental service Redbox is giving its main competitors like Blockbuster and Netflix a serious run for their money. For many the alternative video rental service allows for more flexibility and a offers a lower cost.

Unlike its competition, Redbox does not have stores with overhead, and currently does not stream videos over the internet or mail them to customers. Instead, Redbox has small kiosks in a variety of stores, like your local grocery or drug store.

The concept is simple. Customers go can go online to find a movie and a kiosk near them and reserve their DVD or Blu-Ray movie. They go to the location and get the movie from the kiosk. They can then return the movie to any other kiosk in the 27,000+ network of Redbox kiosks nationwide – a really great option for travelers.

Most movies rent for as low as $1.00. Customers can also rent from the kiosk without a reservation if they just happen to see one in their store. The company has even released apps for smart phones to help you locate a kiosk near you and make a movie reservation.

To date the company has rented over 1 billion movies, and has just announced that it will also offer video game rentals starting in June of this year.
