Yes, VUDU has the capability of 1080p Hi Def content and has lined up three big content providers already (and has signed all eight of the majors for basic stuff. That is great. The $400 for a VUDU box that will probably last 3-5 yerars and a rental fee of $1-4 for basic and $5-6 for high def VUDU rentals seems a lot cheaper to me that $800 for a Blu-ray and an additional $800 for a HD DVD and a DVD buy price of $30 a flick. With 15 bought hig def movies, UI could have paid for a VUDU box and had the box free for the next 4 years. It seems to me that you should now think that high def DVDs are going to be far more expensive than VUDU. It's true that we're comparing rentals versus movies, but I buy one flixk for every 40 I rent. How many people will spend $30 a flick when they can rent it for a fifth of the price?
