Redbox, the movie streaming service, has released an app for Windows 8. While Netflix<\/a> offers streaming content as well as mailed rentals, Redbox is more focused on physical rentals located in high-density locations like grocery stores and other popular places.<\/p>\n

While the company has tentatively started a streaming service called Redbox Instant, it doesn’t have the stability or polish of other streaming services like Hulu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the company is moving forward with the release of its Windows 8 app<\/a>, which features a kiosk locator for you to rent physical discs and the ability to reserve a rental from a kiosk.<\/p>\n

Redbox Rentals also allows you to search for titles by “release date, genre, and rating.” It also lets you watch trailers.<\/p>\n

For people who enjoy having a physical disc to watch at home, Redbox is a great option so you’re not waiting for a disc to arrive in the mail.<\/p>\n
