VIDEO : Redbox Is Speeding Up Rentals From Universal Pictures

Redbox has just signed a new deal with Universal Pictures, enabling the DVD-renting kiosk company to offer Universal?s movies on Blu-ray and DVDs on the same days as the films are released in retail locations. Previously, consumers had to wait 28 days after home-video release dates to be able to rent the studio?s titles. While that's still not as convenient as on-demand streaming, Redbox has you covered there as well now. The company recently launched Redbox On Demand, which boasts 6,000 movie and TV shows available either for rental or electronic sell-through.
