This is really going to depend on your movie preference.  Netflix has a larger variety of movies.  We like watching classics and foreign films.  Most of the movies we watch are not available through Redbox.

But, we don't use either service anymore.  We watch movies online through free sites.  Much better this way for us.

     Really I think this has to do with personal preference. Red box has the most recent movies and sometime a couple older movies and games. If you get one a week for one night that is about $5 a month not much less than Netflix at $8 a month streaming however Netflix also has a limited selection of newer movies and shows.

     Netflix mostly has series, older movies. Occasionally a newer movies is listed on Netflix and some movies never seem to make it on Netflix no matter how old they get. Netflix does have more selection but similar to TV there may be 80% of the content you would never even consider watching or have any interest in. Redbox is good for when you want certainty that you will see what you want (although many movies are all rented out on the weekend in busy locations). Netflix is more like a replacement for TV having many many things to see but not all of it is things you want. You have to decide which aspect is more important to you.

     Personally I use the 2 disc at a time from Blockbuster. I can rent movies, games and shows and they seem to have a decent selection. $15 a month for 2 discs at a time. However the shipping times have gotten slower so essentially it ends up only being 2 discs a week ( even if I send back the disc right away) It is your choice if it is worth it to you.  Occasionally I will get something at Redbox and I share a subscription of Netflix with my mom so I watch it sometimes too.

If you have a good library, a library/redbox combination can work really well for awhile and probably cost you a little less than Netflix. 

That being said, I think Netflix is definitely worth the $8 a month for their service.

I had netflix and for some reason didn't keep it. We use Redbox all the time. For us its easy and with the popcorn coupons you can get it makes it almost free.

I like Netflix better because I don't have to go anywhere to get the videos.  I use to do both videos sent to my home and streaming, but now I only do the streaming.

.I have never renovated from red box. My son-in-law really a movie the other night from red box with a Blu-ray day and called Reckitt Dave. And it would not play so he had to go back in town was about 6 miles away to read another one which was not a Blu-ray so we could have a family evening watching the DVD. Personally I have Netflix and I watch one or two movies every night sometimes more! So I save Netflix is better than red box. It is more convenient and have just much to selection of movies

Netflix you do not have to go out, however they have old movies.  You have to wait a very long time before the movies that come out on DVD play on there.  Some of their movies are like way too old.

Netflix is cool but the selection is pretty lame for online streaming and now they doubled their price, redbox is pretty handy though too but havent used that much
