Wait, Does VUDU Look Different to You Today?

Posted on January 21, 2011Author admin23 Comments

Yes! Yes it Does! Today our next generation interface will be pushed to most enabled devices. VUDU 2.0 is optimized for HD quality and to help you discover your next favorite movie even faster & more enjoyably. Everything you loved about the existing VUDU is the same – quick access to the hottest new releases, Rotten Tomatoes reviews, linked filmographies of cast and crew – is now even better.

Here is what you will find in the new UI:
-Improved browsing and navigation
-Faster access to more great movies
-Recommendations based on your viewing history
-A 2.0 interface optimized for HD viewing and next generation controllers

This will be automatic, no downloads or discs or extra clicks. If you have any questions or need more details you can find it here in our FAQ.

We are currently working to update VIZIO TVs & Samsung devices to the new 2.0 interface — we expect the update to roll out to those TVs and devices soon.

Take a look & let us know what you think here on our Facebook page.

VUDU Takes You into a New Dimension

Posted on January 17, 2011Author admin4 Comments

As some of you may have seen in the news about the big electronics show, CES, last week, we announced our entry into a whole new dimension – 3D! 3D was a huge trend at CES this year and we were able to chat about the state of the industry with our friends at USA Today, Hollywood Reporter, and Fortune among others.

We’re working with our partners to enable 3D streaming on multiple VUDU-enabled TVs and Blu-ray players so you can access the 3D content we have available now. We’re excited to announce that if you have a 3D-enabled TV hooked up to your PlayStation® 3, you can stream in 3D directly from VUDU.

So grab your 3D glasses and hang on!

The Ultimate Question: Edward or Jacob?

Posted on December 3, 2010Author admin

Over the last two years, one question has torn apart friendships and families (while simultaneously selling a lot of t-shirts): “Edward or Jacob?”

Beginning Dec. 4, you can make your choice! With every purchase of a physical copy of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse at Walmart or walmart.com (including Movie-only DVD, the Two-Disc Special Edition, Twilight Eclipse / Destination Forks two-pack, Blu-ray Movie Only or Blu-ray Combo Pack), customers will receive an offer for a $5 movie credit on VUDU. Once again, Walmart and VUDU are joining forces to deliver an awesome value to movie lovers!

Yes, you heard correctly. You can grab the physical DVD or Blu-ray disc (so you can drool over the cover art) AND get the digital copy to stream to your VUDU enabled PS3, Blu-Ray Player, Connected TV, or computer (via Boxee) . Or, you can use your credit to stream any other available movie on the service -– including the original Twilight or The Twilight Saga: New Moon (for those of you who aren’t caught up on your romantic vampire saga viewing) or other hot new releases like Knight and Day, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, or Grown Ups. VUDU aims to provide you with the movies you want to watch, when you want to watch, without limits tied to how you got the content.

So put in your vampire teeth and join me in Forks . . . and let’s get ready for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse!
