[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question - OP (or other Redbox devotees), do you not use Hulu, Netflix, Prime Video, etc for streaming? I bet some of the movies you want to watch are available as part of your existing subscription. Same with your cable provider (if you have one). My favorite search is for "free to me movies."

There are also websites that show you where something is streaming and lets you see how much it costs. For example, I submit to you Infinity War on a website called Just Watch:

We use Redbox.  Sometimes, there are movies at Redbox that are not available for free on the streaming services. Off the top of my head, I thought of "The Mule". I just plugged it into that website. It isn't free yet on Hulu/Netflix/Prime Video. But I can pay a max of $1.86 to rent it from my closest Redbox. I reserve the movie on the Redbox app and walk to the closest Redbox. Not a big deal.

There were other newer releases that come to Redbox before the free streaming services.
