We've used Redbox several times & think it's great! $1 per movie - most of which are new releases - and you can drop the movie back off at any Redbox location. Since most McDonalds (at least around here) are partnered with Redbox & have machines at their restaurants, this means that a movie is as close as the local McDs.

I think this is a great concept, especially when it is coupled to the online & location possibilities. You can log into Redbox's website, search for locations near you, browse what movies are available in each machine, and even reserve a movie (to make sure no one rents it between the time you leave your house & the time you arrive at the machine). This is great for vacation, as well. We have some portable DVD players that we put in the van whenever we go on a long trip. With Redbox we can pick up a movie by stopping at most McDs on the road, let the kids watch it while we travel, & then return it to a McDs 2-3 hours down the road.

Go to the website & see for yourself. If you sign-up for their enewsletter they'll send you a free rental code to use. Here's another one I got in my inbox this morning:
