Redbox Instant headed to iOS, Android, many other devices; costs $8 per month for streaming and discs

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/12/redbox-instant-pricing/)

[Redbox Instant](http://www.engadget.com/tag/redboxinstant) is almost here, and when it arrives sometime in early 2013, it'll cost around $8. Redbox announced pricing for its disc + streaming package this morning, pinning an $8 monthly charge to unlimited streaming, as well as access to four free one-night disc rentals at any Redbox kiosk ($9 a month turns those four discs into Blu-ray releases, _magically_). The service seeks to undermine streaming's 800 pound gorilla, [Netflix](http://www.engadget.com/tag/netflix), by undercutting its service offering -- Netflix's base streaming-only package starts at $8, whereas Redbox offers four disc rentals as well for the same price.

Redbox also announced that its instant service will head to Samsung-manufactured Blu-ray players and SmartHub TVs, as well as LG's Blu-ray players / Smart TVs, as well as Google TV devices. No word is given on the [previously leaked](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/29/redbox-instant-details/) Xbox 360 player, but we expect to hear more on that as Redbox Instant rolls out on an invitation-only basis later this month.
