GigaOM has unveiled several exclusive details about the soon-to-launch Redbox Instant by Verizon, the “Netflix competitor with the complicated name.”
“The service will charge consumers as little as $6 per month, launch with apps for Android, iOS and Xbox 360 and open up as early as December 17,” explains the post.
The online video joint venture is currently being tested in private beta, and its exhaustive help section reportedly reveals interesting details and screenshots.
Assuming that the service doesn’t make any significant adjustments based on the testing, subscriptions will start at $6 per month, offering unlimited access to the service’s video catalog, which is expected to be smaller than the current Netflix collection.
“An $8 a month membership adds four Redbox credits to the streaming package that can be redeemed for Redbox DVD rentals,” notes the post. “Users will be able to reserve their DVDs from the Instant website and mobile apps. Credits won’t roll-over but expire at the end of each month.”
According to GigaOM, “Redbox Instant also offers VOD rentals and sales of newer titles, which can be downloaded to some devices for offline access. Rentals and sales start at $0.99, and offer access to titles like ‘The Lorax,’ which will presumably cost a bit more than that.”
Redbox Instant will use Silverlight for online streaming and will be available initially on Android and iOS devices, Xbox 360 and select Samsung TVs and Blu-ray players.
