- Thursday, March 14, 6:09 PM VentureBeat provides some additional detail on the Redbox Instant (CSTR, VZ) launch. Standalone access to Instant's streaming will cost just $6/month ($2/month cheaper than Netflix, but for a much smaller library), and credits good for 4 Redbox rentals/month can be tacked on for an extra $2/month - provided the credits are used, that's a 58% discount from Redbox's normal $1.20/title. "Hundreds of thousands" of people are said to have signed up during a 3-month testing period. 5 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Thursday, March 14, 5:19 PM Redbox Instant (CSTR, VZ) has finally launched. The service, initially slated to go live in Q4 '12, offers access to 4.6K titles and 4 Redbox DVD rentals for $8/month. Another 4K movies are available for renting/purchasing. Original programming might be offered at some point, but CEO Shawn Strickland considers speculation on this front "really premature." For the time being, Instant's content library is much smaller than Netflix's (NFLX), and so is the breadth of its hardware ecosystem - will the Redbox DVDs be enough to get Netflix subs to defect? 5 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Monday, March 11, 1:15 PM In addition to disclosing Redbox Instant wants in on the original programming craze, CAA lawyer Peter Micelli indicates House of Cards didn't come cheap for Netflix (NFLX -1.8%). "House of Cards' started at $4.5 million [per episode] and [executive producer David] Fincher took it way above that." The first season of House of Cards features 13 episodes, and Netflix has already committed to a second. Meanwhile, the NY Post reports Coinstar's (CSTR +2.1%) recent $350M debt offering will be used to finance buybacks, and thus help keep activist investors at bay. 2 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Monday, March 11, 9:47 AM Shares of Coinstar (CSTR +4.1%) bounce higher after a report tips Redbox to be the latest streaming service to get into the original programming game. Nothing official on original content has been issued by Coinstar. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, March 11, 7:59 AM Redbox (CSTR) and Verizon (VZ) could be looking to break into original programming. At a recent tech symposium, a Creative Artists Agency lawyer tipped off that the companies have been inquiring about programming opportunities. If the report pans out, it makes for beefier streaming competition for Netflix (NFLX) and Amazon (AMZN). 2 Comments [Consumer, Tech]
- Friday, March 8, 7:16 AM Coinstar (CSTR) prices $350M of senior unsecured notes, saying the lot will be sold at par and have an interest rate of 6.00%. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, March 7, 8:13 AM A couple of Wellesley professors say their research shows the closing of major online piracy websites added 6% to 10% to online revenue for movie studios - a mark that is higher than what analysts factored in for the effect. Though it's major studios such as Sony (SNE), Disney (DIS), Viacom (VIAB), and Lions Gate (LGF) which have done most of the heavy lifting in the anti-piracy fight - the trend toward legitimate movie viewing isn't half-bad for Coinstar (CSTR) or Netflix (NFLX) either. 6 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, February 28, 1:58 PM As Coinstar (CSTR -1.3%) approaches a potential saturation point with the number of Redbox machines it operates, look for the company to apply its retail kiosk model to new consumer products to supplement its streaming ambitions. The company sees coffee, food, and electronics as potential options to help redefine its business. What to watch: After seeing some its new ventures stumble, the company might need to keep its return on invested capital at 18% or better to instill confidence. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, February 28, 12:12 PM Coinstar (CSTR) coin-counting machines add an exciting new feature as the PayPal (EBAY) ATM pilot is set to expand around the nation. Customers will be able to add coins and currency directly to their PayPal account, as well as withdraw funds, or send money to another account. The initial rollout in Dallas "quickly saw adoption and interest from users." (PR) 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, February 19, 8:48 AM JPMorgan downgrades Coinstar (CSTR) to Underweight from Neutral from Underweight with a $51 price target lined up on shares. CSTR -2.9% premarket. 3 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, February 8, 8:38 AM Coinstar (CSTR) is losing even more market share to Netflix (NFLX) than what has been previously forecast is the logical conclusion that comes from taking in the quarterly reports (CSTR, NFLX) of both companies, according to JPMorgan's Paul Coster. The company is still banking on its video streaming service - currently in a beta - to swing the momentum back in its direction, but the clock is ticking. CSTR -7.6% premarket. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]

- Tuesday, February 5, 2:51 PM Coinstar (CSTR +2.3%) and Verizon's (VZ +0.2%) Redbox Instant streaming JV has struck a deal with Microsoft (MSFT +0.5%) to make the Xbox 360 the JV's exclusive console platform. Redbox Instant, whose launch has been delayed from Q4 '12 to the end of Q1, will presumably get some free marketing as part of the deal. Netflix (NFLX -0.7%) is available on all three major home console platforms. 6 Comments [Tech, Consumer]

Augie91: Long Cstr! I agree, the box has had a lot of good movies lately. I have been renting more this past week and past month than in 4Q!!! -
Joseph Poma: LONG CSTR, great product, beginning diversification process, great partner in Verizon. There is nothing not to like about where their going!

$CSTR - I can see millions paying $8 month, but, with some work, it could become a huge VOD play too. - View all 3 replies

J Mintzmyer: Just got the email to join Alan. I'll let you know my thoughts. I'm a huge $NFLX bear, but a long short combo play could work here... -
Alan Brochstein: I have real mixed views. Let's just say that I am not the best judge, but I won't be paying $8 myself. It's in beta, to be fair.

Alan Brochstein: navigation is bizarre - hard to find movies, I feel like the "4 free" is a mirage - the titles in the box aren't all available on Instant

Alan Brochstein: On the pro, the stream is real good. I lack experience here, but this could be the Rhapsody of movies - stream old, buy, rent new, vod new

$4 quick pop on NFLX. Either someone is betting against CSTR and VZ, or a big short just covered. - View all 10 replies

Josh Krause: Yeah, I should have gotten long in front of CSTR earnings. NFLX has ceded the DVD market to them.

Josh Krause: NFLX popped on the Apple TV news but if you read the actual report, it is simply showing that the Netflix app will be available like Youtube

Josh Krause: Not so sure of that. The kiosks were sometimes located side by side in competition so there will be some cannibalization of markets.
-
Josh Krause: Also, the NCR kiosks are already in place, there is no change from NFLX's persepctive, just one less competitor.

Scotttrade: The same will be repeated with NFLX as it did with CSTR-- the pop in stock price will not last because rumor is false.
