Redbox Instant by Verizon

I got a chance to try out Redbox Instant by Verizon during the past couple of weeks and I wasn’t blown away.  Here’s why:

  1. The movies are pretty much the exact same available on both Netflix and Amazon Prime.  Why pay twice for the same service?
  2. The service is only available on smartphones (iPhone and Android), tablets (iPad and Android), and computers.  That means no access via my Smart TV or Bluray player which is how I primarily watch streaming content anyway.  I truly think it was a bad idea to launch Redbox Instant without available apps on devices connected to TVs.  Connecting my computer to my TV is so 2 years ago.
  3. The 4 included credits for rentals from their kiosk is a nice touch except they’re only for DVDs.  So I once again miss out on my preference, which is to watch a Bluray version of whatever movie I rent.

I feel like this service could have done a better job of really standing out from the competition but for right now, they’ve missed that opportunity.
