DISQUS

1) Will there be a price hike in the future? (hopefully not)
2) What will Redbox do (or is doing) about increasing competitions?
3) Any new innovations to put Redbox ahead of the pack?
4) What makes Redbox different (more appealing) to the people than the new partnership between Netflix and Blockbuster (now that they also offer simplified movie rental)?
5) Do people actually rent TV series from Redbox??
6) Can't we replace the TV series with more "real" movie releases?

It's probably both a good and bad idea. RedBox would love the publicity and by having more potential customers they would be able to expand more, which benefits all of us. However, this also could increase the risk of more free-riders who might abuse the service just for free movies. I know I'm probably being a bit paranoid. It's awesome to get free movies once in a while, but we should also support the service by contributing once in a while. Unfortunately there are those who don't think that way.

It'll all come down to simple economics of increased sales/revenue vs cost of free movies. If there are too many free-riders out there, then RedBox would decrease or even terminate the promo codes - that would be bad for all of us.

Jayne, I think Redbox has just recently addressed your concern by reserving last copy of a title for "walk-in only". I think online renting is pretty cool and I've used it a few times to prevent holding up the line while making a selection...
