Redbox Instant And GameTrailers Apps Now Available On Xbox Live

Posted on Wednesday, March 20 @ 12:30:15 Eastern by Jessica_Vazquez

Xbox Live subscribers now have two new applications to distract them from gaming: "Redbox Instant by Verizon" and a GameTrailers app. 

Using Redbox's new streaming service on your Xbox will require both a Gold subscription and Redbox membership. There are two tiers to the Redbox membership. The first provides unlimited streaming as well as four kiosk DVDs for $8 a month, while the second option offers Blu-ray rentals instead for an extra buck a month. If you're even slightly interested, you can give the service a free one-month test drive.

As one might expect, the GameTrailers app allows users to check out trailers and other video content from the popular gaming outlet. Anyone planning to make use of this? What's that? You want a GameRevolution app? Maybe next year.

    The only way I would use a redbox amp is if it allowed me to watch any of the movies available in their kiosks for $1 each.

    I would buy into that pretty quick, but the cost of that, right now, seems like it would outweigh the benefits for Redbox.

    So for $1 more we can rent Blu-Ray that DON'T work in our Xbox? So we need an XBL Gold sub, a PS3, and the $9 a month membership for the Blu-Ray version....nice.

    It's not exclusive to xbox, this is essentially their version of Netflix (which also has an app and offers blu rays.)

    Netflix BTW, is like $16 a month (for mail-dvd's and streaming) plus $2 for blu-rays. Depending on how good the selection is, this could be a much better deal at roughly half the cost.

    Big downside of Redbox Instant is no TV (which is huge for me, I'm probably 90/10 in terms of TV vs. Movies on Netflix) and more narrow selection. Not sure how they compare on New Release timing.
