I'm not surprised Redbox going under. There are far too many options renting movies. Granted their blu ray has the best quality but people don't care about quality nowadays.

I counted a few times how many titles were rented out at the machines and I bet their daily revenue is less than $100 per machine and that's not enough to keep this business going.
Record stores are back... There's half a dozen in Calgary and there are records even in drug stores.

I was surprised how many Blu Rays are at the Calgary Public Library. Memberships are now free as well. I've never bought a Blu Ray in my life though. It seems common among younger generations to have not ever owned a film on physical media.
