Just so you know, we are not affiliated with redbox or McDonald's (although we love the new Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken).

Okay, we'll keep it short. We are Steve and Patrick, two guys who live in the Chicago area and business partners in a web development company (we also have two very important big-shot partners in California).

We LOVE redbox. Patrick loves the price tag. Steve loves the experience.

It all started with Patrick swapping redbox rental codes with his friends. He loves getting FREE redbox movie rentals. We're still not sure if he actually watches the movies, he just can't pass up a great deal. Steve loves the big redbox machine. He especially likes the simple touch screen navigation and helping older customers find the giant "rent" button (Steve says one thought it was a voting machine). With just about each rental, Steve makes a new friend. A redbox friend. An idea was born!

REDBOXfriends!

Now we both have reasons to spread redbox joy. Patrick and his other cheap friends are getting great DVD rental deals. Sometimes they're FREE! Steve is staying in touch with his movie loving friends and making new ones too! Thanks redbox!

So, what are you watching?
