Tami and I enjoyed our first "DVD Machine" experience. We took "P.S. I Love You" back the next day, and used our other free code. I don't remember what movie we rented. Over the next few weeks, we rented a few movies, and RedBox got a few extra dollars from us when we forgot to return a couple for a few days. Even then the price was cheaper then renting from a movie store.
Now I am really interested in the opportunity to purchase a redbox machine, or franchise, or whatever method they use. I figured, hey, I like movies, and this is a really cutting edge concept. I hopped online and googled redbox. I went to their page, and search all over to find the click here to buy a redbox button. I never found one. I did find a contact us section, and a click here if you want a redbox in your store area. Since that was the best I could find, I sent them an email. That was about 2 months ago, and I never heard back.
I continued my search but had little success in finding out how to buy a redbox. This was because YOU CAN'T (not yelling at you... just showing some emotion). Turns out individual cannot own a redbox, and I was pretty bummed.
Redbox Automated Retail LLC was initially funded by McDonald's Ventures, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of McDonald’s Corp., which still owns 47 percent of the company with another 47 percent of redbox owned by Coinstar. Redbox Automated Retail operates independently from its headquarters in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, managed by a four-person board of directors — two positions appointed by Coinstar and two appointed by McDonald's Ventures (Thank you Wikipedia).
So it looked like my quest to become the next DVD Kiosk Millionaire had ended before it ever really started. Or had it........?

A redbox machine crashing, just like my hopes of owning one :( Actually it was just restarting itself at around 1am as it is supposed to.
