Ok – the one in Newport Giant now says “$2 1st night, $1 each additional” – so that’s where we’re at, too. Standing in line for movies that aren’t even in there isn’t worth it.

How ’bout $2 for Blu Ray, $1 for regular DVDs? That’s my biggest frustration-no Blu Ray! I’d pay $2 for that feature, but for regular DVDs I’ll stick with Netflix.

Harrisburg area means all of Pennsylvania apparently.
At a dollar a night, easy returns and no gotcha games with return times as with blockbuster, I quit pirating videos on bittorrent.
At two dollars a night and signs of more BS to come…….redbox can die a slow twisting death just like blockbuster.
Too bad. They almost got it right.Right price,right service,right location. Then they blew it.
I’m back to the pirate life. Yo ho Yo Ho!

I don’t use netflix or blockbuster. But I do use redbox. This price increase would definitely cut me back on not using it. Movies aren’t worth that much to me. I can do without.

You know… ours doesn’t advertise the new price, so I was surprised to be charged $2. However – it’s for 2 nights. So you’re forced to pay for 2 nights at $1 each. I thought it was because of Thanksgiving, but when I went back, it was still $2/2 nights – that’s in Perry County, PA. Maybe they’re experimenting w/different costs in different markets? I don’t rent movies that often either way, so it’s not a huge deal and usually I do keep them for more than 1 day, but I was still confused at first. $2 is still pretty cheap, but I can see how online rental subscriptions are cheaper now with a bigger selection and no lines.

I dropped my Netflix subscription to use redbox because it was cheaper for me, but if the ones in my town up their price I’m going back to Netflix. To Craig, while a dollar increase might not seem bad, I’m on a strict entertainment budget and they’ve just cut the amount of movies I can rent a month in half. I discussed this with some friends, and we’re all in agreement; if they raise their prices here they will lose our business permanently.

Not sure if I would pay it. Ocassionally, yes. But as regularly as we do now, no.

Seems like they’ve figured that one out…if half their users stop using RedBox over the price increase, that would cut down the lines considerably, wouldn’t it?
