Differences Observed:
At least five versions of cases have been observed with differences apparently only being cosmetic.
One version, shown the lower left, includes a barcode on the reverse side: “RDBX00728.”
(The addition of the UPC code might have allowed a retailer to more easily sell a missing replacement case.)
There were employee cases that were marked Blue, Orange, and Red
Employee cases were to indicate whether they were redeploys, redistributes, and thins. These may still be inside kiosks and is rare to find one of these.
Any discs after Grey were redeploys, which were removed and randomly added in other kiosks in the area. These were phased out in 2020 in favor of thinning redeploys instead
Any discs after Blue were redistributes, which another kiosk would ask for specific movies and were tracked as well which discs go to which kiosk asking for the disc.
Any discs after Orange were thins, which were shipped back to the company.
