Redbox is good if you want one of the top 100 or so new releases that fit in the box, but a big point of the OP is that Netflix has 100K+ titles, obviously Redbox can't match that.

It would be tough to get studio buy-in, but it would be amazing to have a version or Redbox that burned DVDs in place.

From a logistics perspective it would be ideal if they could use disks that degraded after 5 plays, but they could also just accept disks back, read them, and destroy them.
