    This would be a good thing. Competition is a good thing.

    Now, are they making intelligent steps in the meanwhile? If I were in charge at Redbox, I’d be working on an iTV/iPad/iPhone set of apps, as well as console (XBox, PS3 and Wii) applications available for free downloads.

    If they think that the public will settle for streaming to their laptop/desktop is going to cut it; they will be sadly dissappointed.

    Meh. I think the streaming licensing and aquisition/development of streaming technology are big hurdles that hocking $1 DVD rentals on the corner is not going to address. I much prefer they continue to see what products make sense at kiosk like blue-ray or video games, even at an increased price. Redbox has the unique position of being really good at the web-connected kiosk model – why mess that up?
