It looks like Netflix will be battling Redbox online soon as well. Best known for its $1 DVD rentals, Redbox today confirmed rumors of an Internet movie service. The company’s president Mitch Lowe made a promise to Bloomberg that details would come in October and promised that it would be an extension of the service, achieving things that the company “can’t do in kiosks.”
Netflix, whose streaming is now virtually ubiquitous would be their main competitor. Netflix’s early advantage now has it on many Blu-ray players, set-top boxes and game consoles.
