To Stream or Not to Stream?

 

I received and invite from BzzAgent to try out the new service from Redboxinstant.com. This service allows you to pay a low monthly fee of $8 bucks in order to receive unlimited streaming of a select few movies and then you receive 4 credit rentals to use at the actual kiosk.

 

 My first experience with this service was awesome I was able to watch one of my favorite 80's movies for free without having to run to the kiosk or rental store. And the streaming was really great no delays at all.

 

 

My second attempt to stream a movie was a little bit of a bummer. I wanted to watch a newer release and saw that it cost $4.99 plus tax to watch it streaming, so I made the mistake of thinking that my credits could be used to rent and watch it streaming. That was not the case the credits could only be used to rent from the kiosk. So I could have ran to the kiosk and rented it for free but... I ended up paying the $4.99 plus tax!

 

So when it comes down to it I don't think I'd purchase this service for $8 dollars a month when you can go to the kiosk and rent the newer releases for $1.20 on DVD. Lesson learned "make sure you read all the fine print"!

Thanks to BzzAgent for giving me the opportunity to try this service out though!
