I've discovered the Red Box! I have been walking by the Red Box every week when I went grocery shopping. At first I noticed it, something to do with rental dvd's. Why bother? Didn't I already have a Blockbuster card which held all my top secret credit card information and my preference in movie viewing? Didn't we just get a new Sony PSP3 player, where lo and behold, my daughter informs me we can rent right off the Sony PSP3 website delivered straight to the PSP player for immediate viewing. No getting in the car, going to the store and renting. Granted you have to buy a giftcard for the PSP3 and granted the PSP rentals are for a 24 hour period and is the same price if not more as the Blockbuster 5 day rental, but who needs 5 days right? And I thought the PSP3 was the next best thing since sourdough bread and butter, but nope I was wrong. I've discovered the Red Box! Why I stopped that one time to read the selection, I haven't a clue but what did grab my attention was the rental cost of, hold on to your seats! $1.00 for a 24 hour period. What! You can't buy gum for $1.00! With a little trepidation, my daughter and I made a selection, we choose Valentine's Day. Stuck my credit card in the slot (I'm always suspicious of phony credit card readers!). Took home the dvd, brought it back the next day, not a great inconvenience, since I go to that market every weekend. Checked my credit card statement and saw a charge of $1.08. No, this is crazy, dvd rentals for only a buck. The following week, we splurged and rented gasp! 2 dvds! Within a span of 3 weeks we've seen:
Valentine's Day
Shutter Island
Paranormal Activity
Young Victoria
Tooth Fairy
I'm hooked! Red Box, I love you! Just hope no one else discovers the Red Box, because I wouldn't want them to become so popular they raise the price, shush!
Gotta go now, I'm off to the Red Box, I'm dying to see Up in the Air!
