Make It A Blockbuster Night, Redbox Style
Blockbuster shut down and left Livingston awhile ago. Too many people are using NetFlix and OnDemand video rentals it seems. But when you want to rent a DVD that isn’t amongst the most current releases, you’re kind of stuck now.
Have you tried RedBox at ShopRite for DVD rentals? $1 a night. Just get the DVD back before 9pm the next day and it will be $1.07 total. If you keep it longer, they just tack on $1 for each additional night until you hit $25, then it’s yours to keep automatically.
Interested in how Redbox came about? Well, Redbox was originally funded by McDonald’s ventures, but oddly enough, the McDonalds on Northfield across from South Mountain Arena doesn’t have a Redbox. You would think Redbox would maintain some sort of agreement to be placed at McDonald’s at least. Well, Coinstar bought out McDonald’s Ventures and that’s how we got to grocery stores for real estate locations. Now there are over 22,000 locations.
The locations across the country is a key benefit. Rent from any location and return at any other location nationwide – no extra charges. That means you can look up inventory at the Redbox near your work or school and return it near home or vice versa. If you’re traveling, you can rent a dvd to play at the hotel and simply return it when you get back home.
Ok, here’s a dealio for you. If you can see this photo of our kiosk at the local ShopRite, you’ll find a promo code that was working as of Thanksgiving 2010. Enjoy a free DVD rental on us!
