Redbox Instant was Redbox’s first attempt at a streaming video service. Redbox partnered with Verizon in 2013 to offer an $8/mo unlimited on-demand subscription service, plus four-disc rentals from kiosks. Some titles would only be available for rental or purchase, similar to Amazon Prime Video. By 2014, Redbox’s parent company, dissatisfied with the number of people subscribing, pulled the plug on the whole thing, not even two years after launch.
