Personally a little sad over this. Have a bluray player and sometimes I want to be able to choose and pick a newer movie in 4k… Much cheaper than Amazon and Vudu to rent.
Blu-ray also has much higher quality than streaming services.
In fact, the only way to stream a movie in Blu-ray quality is by using something like Real Debrid, with a fast connection since the bitrate can reach ~100Mbps at times. There’s no legally licensed way to do it. Seems like a missed opportunity IMO.
Lots of poor people used Redbox.
At least poor people still have the public library.
For now.
Yarr.
Wealthy people also use it. I’m relatively well-off (not rich, but above average), and I love Redbox and was planning to use it more often now that streaming platforms are screwing everything up. I hate ads, and every streaming platform seems intent on shoving ads in my face.
I should see if I can find some working ones tomorrow and take out a few games and see what happens if I never return them lmao
Don’t you have to enter a credit card before it gives you the disc? I imagine they will just charge you later though maybe it’ll slio through the cracks.
It could potentially work out like netflix letting users keep the discs they had.
