To get to a Redbox or Blockbuster, we’d have to drive about 30 miles, round trip. The gas would cost about $5.65. We live in the middle of nowhere and must take that into account.
Then why would you want to watch DVDs? Those are for people who have nothing better to do. Out in the middle of nowhere EVERYTHING is better to do.
Of course, you can go into town to watch movies at the theater, but that's so you can interact with other people.
I’ve seen Redbox and Blockbuster all over town, but I am loath to rent a movie that is good enough to buy. Which is why I have Amazon! About twice a year, I treat me to a movie I want in my collection. :o])
