€œThis is not a competition issue,†said VBG president Ted Engen, who also runs the 71-store Total Entertainment Center article specifically said that he runs 71 video stores? You don’t think that is a conflict of interest? One last thing is checkcards work in these machines as well and last I checked how old do you have to be to have a checking account 12? Mcdonalds does market to children with thier happy meals and playlands so why is there box art promoting riske material on it right in the front foyers of the McDonalds? Another thing is alls a child has to do to rent an inappropriate title is press one button that says I am 18yrs old, How hard is that for a child? There is not that extra layer of protection of a human being actually making sure of the age. Go figure that you’d get a one-sided arguement on a site that promotes Red-box. Alls that did was made me buy 2 packs in case I couldn’t get back. If you all remember cigarette machines when we were all kids they to had stickers on them saying you had to be 18 to buy, did that stop any of us? NO!!!.

They ask age, ask for id’s and they don’t rent inappropriate material to children. Thirdly video store owners have an extra layer of protection for parents by enforcing the MPAA’s volentary ratings system, they are in ways custodians of the content for children. Secondly any child can get a visa/matercard gift card given to them and use it in a redbox.

There has actually been further action regarding this issue recently from other government bodies in the midwest that I had been meaning to post about, but never got around to it. I found it interesting enough to warrant its own post, and possibly warranting further discussion. 31, 2021.Today there was a new comment added to our previous coverage of the stuff going on in Kansas dealing with Redbox and R-rated movies in the kiosk. *Based on DVD and Blu-ray rentals between Jan. *Based on Transactional on Demand transactions between Jan. “2022 will be a big year for Redbox as we accelerate our digital businesses and celebrate 20 years of bringing the best in entertainment to millions of customers.” “In 2021, we continued to see growth in our streaming services and our kiosks remain very popular with our customers,” said Galen Smith, CEO of Redbox.
