There's no might. They started liquidating their stuff a few weeks ago. They couldn't even afford to pay their employees. The company that owns them is like a billion dollars in debt.

I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

The machines are still around but they are shut down. The service doesn't exist anymore. They can't even afford to remove their machines. That's the only reason they are still around

They're currently liquidating everything, their parent company was Chicken Soup For The Soul and they went out of business on July 10th.

Red Box for the Soul.

That always seemed like an odd concept to me. Sure you cut out interacting with ppl but I guess the system just knows if you return their media. I like the idea of odd vending machines but a vending machine that you have to go back to didn't appeal to me.

Redbox was blowing up in the early 2000s but well Blockbuster still existed too. I remember just leaving a Wegmanns supermarket and oh shit there was a Redbox.

All The Redboxes in my area havent had new movies added in a year or more.
They still have Megan and Super Mario as the big movies theyre advertising.

They're still all over around me, just havent been updated in a year

TBH/F I am actually into the digital phase and I guess if I lose my digital shit who cares. But before I moved I remember downloading WII U and internet stuff being super annoying. Shitty city,

Also I get ownership and things but getting a game these days is basically a disc that is copy protection for the system and nothing else.
