So Redbox Instant finally unveiled their monthly streaming service pricing at $8 a month. That's the same price as Netflix so is it better? Well.. it also includes 4 one-night DVD rentals per month from any of their kiosks... and for $1 more a month, you can upgrade to BluRay discs.
I think it will hinge on what kind of offerings Redbox has in their streaming catalog... and if they can get penetration on Smart TVs, streaming devices and so forth. It's not going to go live until early 2012 but with Netflix signing deals with Disney, it might be harder than Redbox thinks.

I may try Redbox Instant just for the DVDs... at $2, that's a decent price that includes streaming... but I'll keep Netflix too.
