Comment on Redbox’s owner files for bankruptcy after repeatedly missing payments and payroll

  Literally said “and rental” and was talking about rentals. Buying discs online isn’t much of a competition with streaming. Rentals are much more appealing for most media consumption as compared to purchases which are typically reserved for specific titles (often which were initially rented) where repeat viewing is intended. I liked physical rentals for quality and reliability. Certainly won’t switch to purchasing though now that redbox is going under.

    Buying is at least enough that we should still get bluray pirate releases
