Rent a cheap movie with Redbox

Ever had one of those days where everything sucked? You know one of those times when it seemed the whole world was out to get you, and you barely had two dollars in the bank account? Well I can’t tell you what to do about the fact the world is out to get you, but I have a great suggestion for that two dollars. Rent a movie from Redbox. This unique business venture is the brain child of Greg Kaplan (a former executive for McDonalds) that provides a DVD rental kiosk at places such as McDonalds and your local grocery store where you can rent the DVD of your choice for one dollar plus tax.

Yes you heard me right, you can rent a movie for one dollar. What is even more surprising is that despite renting a redbox movie is super cheap, they actually have movies people want to watch! What is even cooler is that while it costs one dollar a night, unlike traditional movie rental outfits like Hollywood video and Blockbuster, you don’t get charged crazy late fees. If you are late returning a DVD you only get charged a single dollar per day of keeping it. Also if you decide you really like the DVD (or loose it) you actually stopped getting charged after twenty five days and that is the end of it. No annoying phone calls, no late fees, no nothing. Its really kind of nice.

As if being able to rent movies for a dollar wasn’t cool to begin with, you can also go the Redbox website and rent it online where you are then given a code. Take the code to the nearest Redbox location, enter it and bang you got your movie in your hand. So with so much positive there have got to be something I can complain about right? Well there is but really kind of a small complaint. Redbox is just not all over yet. While they espouse to have thousands of locations, that means a majority of people still don’t have one near them. However they are working on it and it shouldn’t be to long before almost anyone can find a Redbox location. check out Redbox here.
