Cancelled Netflix -
Anybody use REDBOX for dvd rentals? Pros - Cons?
No. I don't have time to run back and forth to a movie rental box and pay late fees if I miss it. I can easily stream any movie from Fandango or Google Play.
The Pros are it's convenient and cheap while the Cons are that Hollywood hasn't made a watchable movie is 30 years (+/-)
Redbox is a great way to see current movies (something Netsux can't even spell) for a very reasonable price. However, I got tired of having to schlep the disc back and standing at the machine (the closest Redbox kiosk was situated OUTSIDE a Walgreens and some very dicey individuals from a nearby housing project often lurked in the parking lot looking for handouts) with my wallet out to pay for the next movie, so I switched to streaming with first Netsux and now Amazon Prime.
Have you tried your local library? We have caught up on whole series that we have missed in the past due to busy working lives. I can sit in the comfort of my home and request a title and they contact me when it is at my local branch for pick up. Most movies/series can be checked out for 7 days but I can re-new online (if no one is waiting for it)
I have gotten a lot of great recommendations for things to watch by reading threads like this on FReerepublic. Shows I would never known about.
We got rid of cable 2 years ago and don’t miss it. Plus the library selections are free.
