Verizon and Redbox are officially kicking off a streaming movie service. Sort of. Redbox Instant by Verizon goes into beta this month, and you have to have an invitation to get behind the velvet rope for now.

Later in 2013, however, will be the wider launch. For now, the details are that the Redbox Instant will give you streaming video and some mail-order DVDs, as well as the ability to buy online. It sounds like a pretty decent deal—$8/month gets you streaming plus four DVDs from Redbox kiosks and access to the online store. The same option with Blu-ray is $9/month. And if you don't give a hoot about DVDs, you'll pay just $6/month for streaming only. And now you have even more reason to never leave your apartment, ever. [Redbox Instant via AllThingsD]
