Redbox Wants More Of Our Money

A price increase from a kiosk that already only charges you a dollar and change to rent a movie isn't anything to tweet about. I usually go for the Blu Ray anyway which costs a little bit more per night. Kudos to the company for making the announcement before there was too much leakage.

On a side note, when I was looking for a photo to go with this post I simply typed in "Redbox" in the search bar. On the second page or so there was a photo of a redheaded woman wearing jeans sprawled out on a bed. You got me again Google.

Redbox is making an announcement about its prices today, and we want to make sure that you hear it from us first.

Starting on Monday, October 31, the daily rental charge for DVDs will change to $1.20 a day.* The price change is due to rising operating expenses, including new increases in debit card fees. Daily rental charges for Blu-ray™ Discs and video games won't change.** Additional-day charges for DVDs rented before 10/31 won't be affected, either.

In order to make the transition easier, Redbox will discount the first day of all online DVD rentals to $1.00 from 10/31 through 11/30. Additional rental days will be $1.20.***
If you have any questions, please visit redbox.com/pricechange. There, we've provided additional information.

This marks our first price change in more than eight years as we work hard to keep prices low for our customers.

Thank you,
Redbox
