"In a victory for the movie renting population of America, Redbox and Paramount Home Entertainment have a reached an agreement to bring new release DVD and Blu-ray titles to Redbox kiosks on release date. No 28-day rental penalties to report here.\nVariety reports the decision was made following a 10-month trial period during which \u2014 contrary to previous reports \u2014 Redbox new release rentals did not negatively influence DVD sales. In fact, the company \"has seen higher DVD conversion rates.\"  \nThe new release movie rental appeared to be all but dead. In recent months, we've seen Netflix delay Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox, and Universal Studios Home Entertainment new release rentals. Even rebel Redbox made a deal with Warner Bros. to delay new release rentals by 28 days.\nThis agreement helps paint Paramount Home Entertainment as the patron saint of movie watchers everywhere. Plus, with new release titles available via Redbox, Paramount is guaranteed extra visibility in kiosks that have become increasingly popular outside of grocery stores and fast food chains.\n[img credit: TheTruthAbout...]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
