I don't know much about NetFlix but I would still have to say Redbox.  That's all we use since our local Blockbuster store shut down and even though I can't always find a movie at Redbox to watch I say you can't beat the price!

Redbox is good for movies but you have to remember to bring the movie back the next day .Now my son rented games and kept them for a week so gets to be a little pricy. We also have netflix able to get entire seasons of shows like Breaking Bad loved it.

Its about the same if you watch about 8 movies/ month.
Red Box is $1 each and Netflix is $8/ month so if thats the case it is the same price. i have Netflix and would say I watch it more for shows and older movies. Because sometimes it takes FOREVER for a new movie to pop up on Netflix. But Red Box has new releases available to you right away. Netflix doesnt cease to keep me entertained though, there are amazing documentaries on there and great movies/ shows too that I hadnt heard of and begin watching. Or ill find ones I remember really wanting to see in theatres months ago but never got the chance and now I can.
Also like people have said, Red Box is due the next day (or +$1/day) and Nexflix is a set price and you can take your time.  :thumbsup:

 ??? Well I don't know for sure but I use netflix and I saved a lot of money over having cable but then can't watch what I want when I want to though and I do wish they would update more often.  I only do the streaming don't hav dvds sent and I think the price is very reasonable.  I visit physical redboxs at my grocery store when I want to see something that is not on netflix.

   I say it has to be Netflixs...sure Redbox will get you newer movies faster, but u have to pay for1 and then bring it back, while Netflixs is movies and tv shows 24/7 for a month for $8

I have experience with Redbox; however, I've never subscribed to Netflix.  I read every's comment in this thread because I'm considering subscribing to Netflix this summer when I'm not in school.

Redbox is okay.  The downside is that sometimes when I try to return a movie to the Redbox machine it's full and I have to go to a different location to return it.

Have a great day!

I enjoy Netflix for the variety and streaming option, and for the amount I pay I still get more for my money with using the service. Redbox is nice as I can get things on demand and often times I am able to acquire a discount code through them.

They are actually different in their own ways. RedBox is only from the Kiosk. Where NetFlix you can stream the movies. I use both actually.
