Ditto here, but I don't think that's in the cards because the movie industry won't allow it.
It seems silly 'to me' after all these years of broadband that I either have to burn gas to pick-up a $1.20 to $1.50 (BluRay) at Redbox, or the shipping back and forth to Netflix. Eirther way it's such a waste and not 'click' convenient.
Currently I use 'many of the above' - Neflix (DVD + Steaming), Redbox on occasion (late fees suck and I now own several Redbox DVD's), tried but don't like HULU (paying to watch commercials??; free fine), HBO/MAX/etc on demand (yeah I have FiOS/Verizon), and I've tried Amazon and a few others.
Currently, the Verizon 'On Demand' service is very expensive at $5.99, and most of the time I'll either wait until Netflix or Redbox offers the DVD. Something great like Avenger's I'll buy.
So from Verizon the only cost and convenience issue to me the the $5.99 vs $1.50 vs Netflix and they don't need a partnership with Redbox for that issue, the only substitute would be $1.50 On Demand and a $7.99/mo substitute for Netflix and an Unlimited Rental @ kiosk.
Otherwise I think success will be a mixed-bag in their partnership.
