Now, we’re not a news site but since we are all really invested in movies I thought I’d pass this along as an interesting bit of information.  Redbox are those big red boxes (how ironic) that you can find at your grocery store that rent DVD new releases for cheap.  Well it turns out some people in the film industry aren’t happy with Redbox and say they are hurting their bottom line.

Universal apparently told their distributors to stop selling their new releases to Redbox within 45 days of a title’s release.  So you can still get the movie but you have to wait 45 days.  There is a lawsuit going on between Universal and Red Box to determine what is going to happen.  Now Fox has gotten in on the “hold the new release” ticket so more may follow.

I don’t even use Redbox, I’m a Netflix kind of girl, but this makes me mad.  How about you?  Will you wait the 45 days or will you go through another vender or will some of you download illegally just to stick it to the man?

I’m not a reporter so this is just a taste of what’s going on.  If you want to read the article on /film (pronounced slashfilm) go here.
