[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 6060176, member: 70"] Selection at Redbox is limited. 30-40 titles per unit, maybe? There are a few places around town here that have two units side by side. One MAJOR annoyance with redbox movies is that a lot of them now come with 20 minutes of ads before the movie, usually from the movie studio. You can't skip it or fast-forward, so put it on and let it play while you load the dishwasher, feed the cat, and make popcorn. We were on streaming+1, but with my schedule and my wife's disinclination to watch movies, we often went a few weeks before watching a DVD. Didn't seem worth it after they split the service. Might change now that I'm not in school. My daughter and I often stream movies simultaneously, never had a problem. The movie will pick up wherever you leave off. The streaming selection tends to be a bit older, and there are gaps that I assume have to do with studios - there are classic movies you can't stream through Netflix. Amazon is another option. I have not explored that one nearly as much. Between Netflix, Amazon, and the networks, though, I would cheerfully give up cable. Can't convince my wife, though. :/ [/QUOTE]
