Wal-Mart, the nations largest retailer, plans to acquire Vudu, an online video service that offers
movies to buy and rent through partnerships with makers of
Internet-connected televisions and Blu-ray players.
The fact that Wal-mart has their eyes (and their pocket-book) on Vudu suggests to me they must be doing some things very well, and that Vudu stands poised for a successful future.
One of the primary factors that sets Vudu apart from another streaming video provider - Netflix - is the fact that Vudu is available without a monthly subscription or contract. You can rent or buy high definition and standard definition movies on what is essentially a pay per view system. As they put it "only pay for what you watch".
Ok - but how do you 'get' or access Vudu? There are two methods to access their movies & programs:
1. VUDU is now available built into products from LG and Mitsubishi (DVD players and TV monitors)

2. Or you can use a 'Vudu' box -- they have two models:
The VUDU box ($149.00) may be purchased at Best Buy
The VUDU XL model ($499.00), designed for high end home theaters, is available only through our authorized installers.
