Redbox's boost into it's current fame didn't have as much to do with automation as it did with the price and convenience factor.
People were tired of paying $5+ to rent from Blockbuster and get nailed with late fees all the time. Redbox simplified this model ($1/day until you return it). Of course the 24 hour kiosks are a boon too.
