Will Redbox's 25% Price Hike For DVD Rentals Hurt Its Bargain Image?



The jump to $1.50 per night from $1.20 takes effect on December 2, [...] And while that’s still just pocket change, it could make some consumers question whether it’s worth the trek to a local kiosk instead of staying home and paying a bit more to queue up a movie on a cable, satellite, or streaming VOD home entertainment service. Redbox last raised the price of its once-famous $1-a-night DVD rentals in 2011. [...] In addition to the change for DVDs, Redbox will increase the price of Blu-ray disc rentals to $2 from $1.50. Video games will go to $3 from $2 beginning January 6. This is the first time the company has raised the rental price for Blu-ray and games. - David Lieberman,Deadline Hollywood [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
