I stopped at a Redbox in Dover Township this afternoon and was not pleased to discover that the popular DVD rental kiosk had raised its price from $1 to $2 per night.
What's up with that?
Redbox made its name by renting DVD's for $1 per night, a good and inexpensive form of entertainment during this time of recession.
My first inclination, as if I was personally slighted, is to stop renting from Redbox. What do you think?
I think even at $2.00 it is a good deal. I wish it were minus the tax that then makes it $2.12. I wish they would let you hold the DVD longer than 24 hours. I feel so rushed to return it that I do not fully enjoy the experience.
I noticed the change a few days ago in the South End - right as our Blockbuster is going out of business and I am receiving offers from their Mail service along with Netflix and just this Friday, an advertising post card from Red Box tauting the $1 for 1 night offer - I guess their printer wasn't kept up to date.
