Vudu - Movie Watching Made Easy
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "SOFTWARE" @ 12:00 PM
"Everybody loves watching movies. It's the other stuff we could do without — driving to the video store, waiting by the mailbox, finding out the title we were hoping for isn't available. VUDU is a revolutionary new product that brings thousands of movies straight to your living room for instant viewing, without a computer or cable/satellite TV service. All you need for VUDU is a TV, a broadband Internet connection, and a favorite spot, like a comfy couch."
Well, you also need the Vudu box itself. It is capable of doing unlimited rentals and storing 100 hours of owned movies. Vudu has no activation fees and no subscription fees. Rentals range from 99¢ to $3.99, purchased movies from $4.99 to $19.99. So this would be rivaling your pay-per-view service that starts streaming movies instantly, however, it looks like they have a larger library of movies to choose from. Honestly, while I like the concept of the service, I am just not sure if I want yet another device sitting near my TV, with the cable box, the DVD, the XBox, speakers, receiver, just to name a few, my electricity bill is already way too high. Not to mention, do I really need to watch more TV? :)
