The thing is, even if they want to they probably can't. Hollywood won't sell anything to Netflix and Redbox because they make more money from companies like On Demand. these companies charge WAY too much to rent things, but overall make massive amounts of money.

In order for Redbox to compete, they'd need to raise prices (which ruins the purpose of the company ). Look how much Netflix had to pay just for Toy Story 3..... Redbox already went through this when Hollywood said "raise your price, or quit offering our new movies"

Only way I see this happening is if Verizon utilizes it like Dish Network and works it into the contract with their customers. Even then I doubt it, its Verizon. They would charge you for battery usage if they could. Lets say Verizon isn't greedy and does it, well thats millions of subscribers which shoots the price of licenses up, ask Starz how that works.

There just isn't a need for yet another streaming service, and as of now I see no reason for Redbox to venture into this area.

@Soldierone I agree, they will probably not have the financial clout to go through with a viable option in the content area that is actually going to play into bringing in the fans that they will need to make the service a success.

I agree with you 100% about the prices for On Demand and similar services- their prices are WAY too high ot be viable for fans to use more than sparsely.
