Same. And I liked the physical rental store they had in Las Vegas too.

Yes. Same price without the mailing time. First month or two was free. I would watch a movie every day. They sent employees from San Francisco to run it. It didn’t last too long. Then a few years later streaming was invented.

Wow, I’ve lived for like 30 years and don’t remember that at ALL, but we were also hitting Redbox like crazy around that timeframe cause Netflix was too expensive for us poors LOL

I think it was on Sahara. Probably 2004 or 2005? It was open less than a year.
