GigaOm scored a major scoop on the upcoming instant-video service by Redbox and Verizon. According to the site, service will start at $6 per month. More expensive options include physical rentals from Redbox kiosks. Video-on-demand for new movies will also be available for one-time charges. The service will initially be available for PCs, Android devices, iOS devices, Xbox 360, and select Samsung consumer electronics (televisions and Blu-ray players).
I know that several of you enjoy Amazon Prime and Netflix instant videos. I also know that some of you like to rent movie discs from Redbox kiosks. Would you be interested in an all-in-one solution that covers all your bases? Do you see yourself dropping Amazon Prime or Netflix in favor of the Redbox/Verizon service? Are you excited? Or are you taking the wait-and-see approach?
I’m interested in new release .99 rentals as long as it doesn’t require a sub to get that price. Even then it might be worth it as long as they carry a lot of content covered by the sub.
I just want someone to consolidate all the available content into a guide that tells me where to watch everything, including pricing. I waste so much time checking Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, CinemaNow, Xbox Video, iTunes, etc.
Idk if u have an iOS product but there’s an app called fayve that allows you to see or search for movies or shows for streaming services
Yes I’d be interested. I’m not very impressed with amazon’s library
I’ll have to hear some more about the service, but it seems like it could be worth it. Lower price point (for now) than Netflix, which is dirt cheap compared to how much use my family and I get out of it, helps convince me to try it. Currently I’m not sure I need this service though since I get to watch whatever I want for free anyways because of work. Once I can leave my current job though this would most likely be very enticing.
