I've long been impressed with RedBox, but it still has one glaring weakness, you have to drive to McDonalds/drug store/Walmart/wherever in order to get a movie. With the competition (Netflix), the movies come to you. Maybe not a huge deal, but you do save some time & gas and now Netflix has a huge selection of popular movies available via their streaming service too.

Like I said, if you're looking for a good older movie it isn't the thing to do. But, if there's a movie you didn't catch in the theaters and you've got a Mcdonald's down the street from you, it's very easy to watch it that night and take it back the next day. Then, you're only paying a $1. And it even beats netflix, because it's very tough to watch 15 movies a month using netflix. yeah, the red box is pretty cool.

It's the same thing, but $1.50 for the first day and $.99 each additional (I think). I would love to save that extra 50 cents, but it's still a pretty good deal for parts of the country that have no Red Box.

But yeah, you're right. If you live in a big city, libraries usually have a good selection for free! Yeah, If it were me, I would use the savings to pay cash for your moving expenses. You can put the debt on hold for a little bit. There's no sense in paying off money on a credit card and then putting the money right back on it to move, ya know.
