Redbox Secret
 
Hey boys.

Okay, this is for all of you late night fellows out there.

If you visit the Redbox site, new movies aren't listed on their webpage until the actual release date, which is some time around Tuesday morning I think (don't really like getting up that early :D).

If you click on "FIND A MOVIE", and then click on one of their latest releases, I found a neat trick to do with this.

Look at the full web address and find where it says something like titleId=2600 or whatever.

Just change that number until you find the new, upcoming movie you're looking for.

Check for availability to see where you can rent it.

Basically, I'm able to watch new releases for $1.00 the night before they are even available at rental stores, and the cool thing about it is since you usually can't rent them until after midnight, you can keep the movie until Wednesday evening.

So to recap, new movie for only $1.00, keep it for two nights, and watch it before anyone else.

I searched online and didn't find even a single post on something like this so I thought I'd share with you all.

Cheers.

If any late nighters here are wanting to watch X-Men Origins a day early, here's the link:

X-Men


It should be available between 5 and 30 minutes or so after midnight tomorrow.

Cool trick, Redbox is awesome. Though I rarely use it unless I happen to see a movie I like in one of the boxes if I'm in a store with one. (I tend not to watch movies often).

One other thing to mention is that if you google for free promotional codes, you can get a ton of free rentals through Redbox as well. :)

Two codes I know that work are:
BREAKROOM
DVDONME
