So needless to say, discount video renter extraordinaire Redbox is NOT happy with Warner Brothers‘ edict that there will be a mammoth twenty eight day speed bump between the releases of their material and their availability at Redbox kiosks.
Redbox is fighting back with every tool in their arsenal–they’re not just calling in the lawyers, who already are primed and ready with nasty words like “antitrust” and variants on “market manipulation”, but they’re also launching a bit of a charm offensive.
Redbox set up a link, savelowcostdvds.com, to show you where the many many MANY Redbox kiosks out there can be found. And indeed there are many–I know of two of them just in the little town I live in. And considering that both Sony and Lions Gate both just recently signed deals with Redbox to get their material in the kiosks, I think Warner is likely to knuckle under and cut out the twenty eight day wait.
