Redbox Will Stream Movies Next Year
Not content to beckon to you subliminally from its kiosks planted in heavily trafficked areas, Redbox’s corporate parent Coinstar announced it will launch a streaming service next year.

Coinstar dropped the news last week during a quarterly earnings call, Yahoo reports.
