It was partially a test of Redbox Instant. There was some confusion over whether those of us who signed up for the beta would be able to use the DVD credit towards a BD by paying the difference. Nope, but supposedly once it is live we'll be able to do so. But for me to keep the subscription beyond the trial period they have to get the app on BD players. The press release late last year said Samsung players so yesterday I hooked up my C5500 which has been gathering dust and let it update but no Redbox app yet. They don't have much to offer different from Netflix but you do get 4 DVD rental credits a month for the $8 subscription. So far I have watched two movies on Redbox Instant but sitting at the computer ain't all that fun with a 53" screen that I'd rather watch on. BTW, the "House of Cards" series debuts this Friday for Netflixers. Looks like it is going to be interesting. Tonight is the pilot of "The Americans" on FX, a series about Russia spies in the US during the Cold War. ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: [email protected] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
