Redbox: New Video Rental Competition for Blockbuster and Netflix

Redbox revenue is estimated to be between $250 to $270 million in 2008. I am not sure where BBI's Kiosks are going to be located, but I suspect it will be able to help reduce the labor cost at each stores where the Kiosks are installed. Again, BBI is going toward the right direction as far as what I can see. Another KIOSK player is DVDPlay ($1.49 per rental night) with just 1,400 kiosks @ Safeway and they are adding 1,800 more. Redbox has more than 8,000 locations. Blockbuster's annual revenue is more than 5 Billions with a "B" !!!

"Oldtrains" definately either owns NFLX or works for Netflix. How are you supposed to know what to type & search on Netflix if you don't check the new movie releases List from Yahoo or Blockbuster's websites huh? Don't try to lower your intelligence level just to make excuses for NFLX, they are very shameful from hiding the new DVD releases from customers. *I had Netflix for 5 years until I got really fed up by their new website designed to hide the new releases earlier this year. I believe some new subscribers recently gained by Netflix will cancel sooner or later. My HD cable plays free movies in much better reolutions than Roku or internet streaming from Netflix. With the rapid increase in HDTV adaptation, the movie streaming from Netflix will soon become an eye sore (or your brain can automatically adjust to low resolution and still call it "fabulous").

Motley Fool's articles have been classified as "Noises" from my past investment experience, it is quite annoying but my "Noise Filter" is quite strong now. Just read what the fools/morons wrote about "SIRT" and see how much the stock price ended up after the buy out.
