    Redbox: New Video Rental Competition for Blockbuster and Netflix [view article]
    Funny, I see the exact opposite out of nflx than what dvdfan sees. I personally have had a nearly seamless renting experience with nflx, I cancelled my bbi online due to their lack of hard to find titles. The instore swap was nice with bbi until they imposed multiple restrictions which was a main reason why I left a year ago. I do not own a roku box, I stream content from my pc to my tv and it has been fabulous. Direct from the last nflx quarterly report, the redbox is going to deal a more significant blow to the likes of bbi than nflx (summarized).

    Redbox: New Video Rental Competition for Blockbuster and Netflix [view article]
    Forgot to mention that I am still bullish about Blockbuster for the long run. Even though they are in a temporary setback, but the company is going toward the right direction and the emphasis in providing convenience and value to their customers. Netflix pathetically hides ALL the latest movie releases from it's website and keep promoting "OldFlix" from it's website, I canceled Netflix after getting tired of looking for new releases from other website only to find out the status of those new DVDs as "Long Wait" or "Very long Wait" from Netflix. Netflix seems to evolve to "OldFLix" (the junkie Roku's low quality streaming seems to confirm that), and now "NoFLix" with the website failure. Blockbuster should have no problem raising more money to fight this war as they are in a much stronger position with physical brick & mortar stores in providing the Convenience to the customers in a TIMELY manner. This is exactly why I keep my brokerage account with Schwab (office within 5 minutes from my house or office) and canceled E-Trade 8 yrs ago. Timing & convenience are way more important to me. Reply

    Redbox: New Video Rental Competition for Blockbuster and Netflix [view article]
    After using Redbox for more than 2 months, I found the following problem:
    (1) Kiosk malfunction: could not accept DVD return, I had to burn more gas to find another kiosk and to make it worse I was on the way to work. (and no, I don't have time to to return to the Kiosk later on that extremely busy work day. return dead line is 9pm or another $1/night).
    (2) Kiosk malfunction again: DVD was returned to the Kiosk, taken in but not recorded. I found out by receiving a $27+ bill from one rental. Redbox refunded it and acknowledged the DVD was retrieved later by a technician. However, I don't like the late finding especially after I already received the false penalty bill.
    (3) If I forget to check Kiosk inventory online, the chance is the DVD is not available at the specific Kiosk I went to. Especially the new DVD release or hot titles.
    (4) Long line of customers looking for the DVD that is not available from the Kiosk. This is a time waster. Instead of having a fixed movie posters display, they should consider a real time monitor that shows the movie titles available from that specific Kiosk, let people know what titles are sold out from the Kiosk to avoid wasting people's time especially when the Kiosk itself does not provide very fast transactions.
    (5) indecisive customers (another time waster) in the front of the line. I wish they can separate the movie browsing activities (by a new curious customer) from the real transaction (DVD return, pick up ..etc by existing customer).
    (6) I believe McDonalds now own the majority share of 51%, not Coinstar. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

    To me, Redbox fits the market well as a temporary solution before Video On Demand becomes main stream. However, it won't have a great potential for the long run. That's probably what caused the delay in IPO. Redbox's days will be over when I am able to buy a VuDu (vudu.com) box for less than $99 and rent new released movies for $1 per night without leaving my house, and perhaps the latest theatrical movie release straight from the box.

    Phillip. Can you please explain how a company having 200% growth would be experiencing "brutal market conditions", that would stop it from going public? Reply

    This article its so cheap, no fundamentals, you are comparing orange to apples. If they are paying you to write an article about Redbox, at least try not to be so obvious. Reply

    User 172125,

    Re: "just compiling data that is readily available". I don't know about you, but MY clock only has 24 hours in a day, so anything that allows me to be more productive in that 24 hours, has value.

    SA automatically pulls the articles off of your website and puts the links in. That isn't a conscious choice by a blogger. Reply

    Like I said on your other post- I see past the post itself- and what you are doing is actually a great marketing tool. To other bloggers out there- notice that his posts include several symbols- and therefore will show up on SA under each and every symbol- exponentially generating traffic (ad revenue) to his blog.

    The posts themselves have little value as he is just compiling data that is readily available. Brilliant strategy market folly- I bet you are making a lot of money for doing virtually nothing. Very bright.     Reply

    Netflix needs more than this to combat their recent shipping debacle. Reply

    Netflix User Statistics: Reading Between the Numbers [view article]
    I'm also fond of number crunching, and I'm spending $6.40 per dvd from Netflix. Guess I'm one of the skinny gals at the buffet.

    My renting patterns are not consistent: one month I'll exchange zero dvds, and then the next month, I'll exchange 10. I appreciate the range and selection of the buffet, but if I want a dvd really fast and it doesn't cost too much more than $6.40, I just order it from Amazon. This happens to be one of those 10-dvd months, so of course Netflix is having massive nationwide shipping problems just when I want lots of movies really fast. Other than Netflix's range of complete seasons of tv shows, I'd drop Netflix in a heartbeat, as soon as iTunes can offer a greater range of movie rentals.     Reply

    2nd reference to touch-screens today.... HP is coming out with touch-screen tablets in the next 18 months... If we can get better battery life, that would be a nice little setup... I'd buy one...
