I like Redbox. Our family uses it a lot. However, I do have a major complaint against it...
Your labels... you know, the ring-shaped ones, printed with a type of bar code and stuck on one side of the hub in order to identify an individual disc to its renter... yours are made out of paper, which is liable to deteriorate when exposed to water. And why would a customer need to expose one of your DVD's to water? Because, the fact is, most people can't seem to handle DVD's (or CD's, for that matter) without getting their greasy fingerprints all over them; and, after passing through several users, a rental DVD can become un-playable due to the buildup of grease and other gunk on them. So, they need to be washed, gently, with warm water and a tiny drop of mild dishwashing liquid, and then rinsed and patted dry.
Well, a couple of times I've come close to inadvertently defacing the delicate label of one of your DVD's while cleaning it, and I find this irksome because I know if I do end up defacing it, I'll have a lot of trouble returning the DVD to a Redbox machine and getting my account credited for it.
Our family also checks out DVD's from our local library, and their labels are made out a type of plastic that is pretty much waterproof. Thus, we have no problem cleaning a dirty DVD from our library.
