Buy what you want but I really dislike using redbox because:
I realize and understand waiting in line. However that can be bypassed by ordering your movies online and just going to pick them up on off hours times. It's really about patience. The movie I want to see where still be there at some point. For some people it won't matter, but for me, I love the sound quality and cannot pass it up. Course I also can wake up the dead and shake the gutters off my roof if I jack it up a notch.
I've never waited in line at redbox more than once or twice and that was when some little kid was trying to decide what movie he wanted
I usually see a line during evenings on most days of the week when i hit the local grocery store. During the day it's sits there there by itself mostly.
Now there's a false equivalency if I ever saw one.
Yeah I guess when I think content delivery systems I don't think the consumer should have to be patient.
The red boxes where I live typically have a line of several people and they always take all damn day to find the movie they want. Like I said before I'm not saying people shouldn't use redbox but those were my reasons for not liking it.
Seriously. 'I want on demand content' and 'I don't want my content to make demands of me' are not contradictory.
Yeah, I cannot stand the quality of Streams. The quality of blu-ray, especially playing it on my own custom players, far outshines streams. I think there's always going to be a market for people who want quality. I'm not sure what they'll do if physical media ever dies, offer high quality encodes for download?
That's still going to use shitty streaming renderers though not to mention it doesn't solve the issue of how much bandwidth HD Audio streams take up.
I guess their "Let's make one operating system to run on everything!" approach is kicking their ass. Which they should have known from the get go. Boy they have some stupid people over there.
You should invest in a home theater and surround sound system. Then watch your kids as they are in awe and cannot wait to watch more movies with you that don't have the life ripped out of them from being streamed in 720p with dolby simulated surround on netflix (Not to mention old as shit movies no one cares about)
