I've always wanted to ask what the heck this service was, same as Redbox if I remember the term right. I've read the description and had people post several times and I still can't wrap my head around it in a "people pay for this?" sort of way. I also don't live in the US so have never been able to try this and see what it was firsthand.

You paid a monthly subscription just like now but you just ordered DVDs to be mailed to your house through the website. There were different subscription tiers that determined how many DVDs you could have out at any one time. So, you could keep a DVD as long as you wanted but would have to send it back if you wanted to free one of your 'slots' up to be able to request another one.
