Dunno if you have "RedBox" near you. By me, I can't throw a rock without hitting one of their kiosks.
Costs a buck a night. Selection is usually OK, Mrs WBill and I don't watch movies all that often, so we're rarely a loss to find something we're interested in.
The "plus" is that we only get movies when we feel like it - rather than submitting a list online and slogging through them. Drawback is that movies need to be returned, which, like I mentioned, by us is pretty darn easy.
I'd like the selection that Netflix affords, but (personally) see no reason to pay $100+/year to wind up watching a handful of movies.
Do have a Redbox nearby. Nice to have and cheap (free if you use the codes), but I still like Netflix because it has most movies.
Blockbuster flat closed here (a city of over 100,000 people by the way), so the only other option for a movie that isn’t in Redbox is instead to go to Hastings (lol!) or Netflix.
Redbox has an extremely small selection, and while I like they have the new releases Netflix doesn’t on streaming, the thing is, they don’t have anything older.
That’s where Netflix comes in handy on streaming or via DVD.
I don’t understand those who proclaim the DVD dead when no streaming service has enough content to really do this, not Netflix or Amazon Prime.
There are tons of great movies and TV shows that you simply can’t get without Netflix by mail. If I want my obscure 80s movie, Redbox won’t have it. Netflix will, though again probably only via DVD.
I hate paying more and NOW having to use a separate website, but it’s hard to give all that up and then limit myself to only what Redbox has etc.
