I love Redbox. I've never gotten a scratched disk either. But they say if you do, they give you instant credit. I like that I can return movies anywhere and you can't beat the price.

I also use Hulu and Crackle.

Haha! I used to spend a fortune on Blockbuster movies back in the late 80s! I sure don't miss “Be kind. Rewind.”!

I’ve never heard of Crackle, I’ll have to check them out.

Hulu is great for shows that I missed on TV and my fiancee deleted from the DVR.

I worked at Blockbuster in college, but we didn’t rent out many VHS anymore.

Funny tangent on that: my boss was also my roommate at the time, and he had this idea to sell these CD/DVD cleaning machines in the store as “CD/DVD Rewinders.”

You can’t possibly imagine the number of inquiries we had into how the rewinder worked, and my roommate, mind you: the boss of this store, kept the charade going for as long as he could. He actually got a woman to buy one and told her to “make sure [you] remember to rewind your movie” as she was leaving.
