Understood. I honestly don't know many alternatives to Redbox besides those for renting movies... Even then, as others have mentioned, there's a difference between streaming and playing a blu ray. All movies I rent are <$2.50 from Redbox, nicer quality vs. >$5 Amazon.

Ah hoy! Just did a quick search. Seems the quality has significantly increased there too!
Only other place I can think of off-hand is the local library for rentals. Half Price Books and thrift shops will have some for sale, but I'm not sure how much lower they may be from Amazon's rental fee.
