i actually looked at the machine the other day cause of this thread. (never used one before cause its a credit card eating monster)

it definitely says dollar per day, no more charges after SOMETHING LIKE 20 days and its yours to keep.

but im sure that was said already like 60 times

4/27/2009 10:30:10 AM

i think a troll got a feast out of this thread...

4/27/2009 1:01:33 PM

i couldnt get a good picture but here it is



as you can see no "per night" anywhere in sight, also its hard to see but it says return anytime anywhere above the screen.
anyways its clear their motive it to mislead someone who is in a hurry and doesnt have time to scour this machine for all messages,

4/28/2009 3:53:49 PM

haha post the location so we can get some TWWer to post a real photo of the whole box - that picture is worthless and you know it

4/28/2009 3:57:31 PM

okay man at least be honest, and if not with us then with yourself.

It never displays the per night logo right by the screen. Look at the images of red boxes that are distributed through this thread. per night is clearly labeled but not on the 2ft x 2ft portion you highlighted.

Use the following as an example


Perhaps you should take an appropriate image if you're looking for people to understand your honest mistake.

4/28/2009 3:59:32 PM

$1 per night

4/28/2009 4:00:15 PM

$1 per eternity

4/28/2009 4:00:48 PM

Haha this fucker is huge. But that blurry writing on his pic is easily read....

SO IS THE PER NIGHT IN 144 FONT

"$291 you fucking idiot"

Think harder son.

He rented the DVD before he came up with the $300 fish tank budget. We can reasonably expect that the $300 budget was taking into account the $1 DVD rental giving him a total budget of $301. $301 - $9 = $292. Now if it was a $9 fee on top of the $1 rental you'd be right, but he didn't say anything to indicate that and I doubt you're smart enough to have picked up on it anyway.

4/28/2009 6:44:31 PM

im loling at the red boxes i spot around town too

and wonder how many idiots are out there thinking this

i swear i thought this thread was a joke when i first read it but who thinks a rental costs $1 forever?

i just googled redbox scam for kicks to see what i could get. everyone seems to complain about them charging for extra days even though they returned the movie within a day or two.. still haven't found anyone shocked by the $1/day charge.

this one was funny though

Quote :

"I rented a dvd from reddbox. When I returned the movie, I discovered that my son had put another dvd in the case that I had returned. It was an otis Redding cd that belonged to my husband. I panicked! I called the company to try and correct the matter. They told me to mail the dvd in. Of course, I wanted my dvd back and I asked how could I get it back. The lady told me that I could call back in a couple of weeks. I could not meet with anybody to try and retrieve my cd. Since then, I have called several times, but have not been successful in getting my cd back. I have been told different things by different people when I call. Don't rent movies from REDBOX. They are a SCAM. They are not honest and is not a good business. I also blame Walmart for having them on their property."

lol wat

4/28/2009 7:46:18 PM

I just rented 10 movies from redbox. as long as I have them back by 9 tomorrow, I'm golden. 10 movies added to my collection for $10 sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me

ps: I will have them returned in about 2 hours

what a fucking toolbag

5/1/2009 7:32:00 PM

for real. I've been using redbox ever since it came out. shit's awesome as long as you follow the rules

5/1/2009 7:34:04 PM

Don't Red Box machines read the barcode that's exposed through the cutout in the plastic case to identify the serial number of the movie that was put in there? I would think it would spit out a DVD if it were detected improperly, or at least notify you.

Who knows.

5/1/2009 9:25:44 PM

ahahahaha this is some funny shit

5/1/2009 9:52:20 PM

bttt in time for the summer lull of no new tv shows

6/1/2009 10:29:32 PM

Yea, if you don't learn anything else in college, learn this...READ THE FINE PRINT. durr

6/1/2009 10:43:30 PM

That's some extra large fine print plastered all over the machine, too.

6/1/2009 11:19:15 PM

i was just thinkin about this when i saw it mentioned in that "best songs you never heard" thread in entertainment

6/3/2009 2:34:30 PM

wow. you are a fuckin idiot

my 2 year old knew that it was a dollar a day


...and i dont even have a two year old

6/3/2009 2:35:53 PM

law, this is still going? epic

6/3/2009 2:36:24 PM

what if you use one of those visa gift cards to rent the movie

what happens if you never bring it back? or can you even use those to rent?

6/3/2009 2:37:51 PM

If they let you use them at all, they probably put a hold for the purchase price on the card, ie $25.00, until it is returned. If you don't return it the $25.00 charge applies, if you do, they just charge the rental fee.

6/3/2009 2:54:54 PM

I doubt they would let you use a gift card to rent them.

I love redbox btw. I probably rent at least 2 movies a week from there.
