Much cheaper than Amazon and Vudu to rent.

True, but you just named two major parties pushing for Redbox’s death.

Understood. I honestly don't know many alternatives to Redbox besides those for renting movies... Even then, as others have mentioned, there's a difference between streaming and playing a blu ray. All movies I rent are <$2.50 from Redbox, nicer quality vs. >$5 Amazon.

Ah hoy! Just did a quick search. Seems the quality has significantly increased there too!
