Renting Movies Through Streaming Service vs. Redbox

[fitty76]

I'm trying to figure out what is more cost effective. Renting movies though a streaming service like iTunes and Amazon Instant Video or Redbox.

Redbox is cheaper, but I have to actually go to a kiosk pick up the DVD and return the DVD for $1.28. The streaming services offer new movies for $3.99 a rental and I don't have to get up off of my couch.

So I'm thinking the streaming movies though Amazon to my Roku box is probably a better option.

Amazon streaming is free with an Amazon Prime Account.

I haven't streamed through iTunes.

I cancelled netflix as the movie pickings get slimmer and more obscure.

I'm trying out blockbuster at the moment. Not a fan so far.

You can also try EpixHD.

Depending on which route I take, I pass 8-12 Redboxes on my way to work or back.

For me if I order online/reserve its a dollar the first night.

The Amazon Prime movies are just about the same as the Netflix streaming.

Red Box is located virtually at every 7/11 and supermarket around where I live. It's the best deal and convenient. I canceled Netflix once they tried to switch services; RedBox is better.

I don't watch movies enough to warrant having a service for them. I pickup a Redbox every now and then, love it.

Man I haven't rented a movie in ages. Mostly use Netflix, but like a poster above mentioned...the pickins get slimmer and slimmer.
