If you follow the VUDU blog (thanks!), or read Engadget, Gizmodo, or WIRED, you know VUDU has been busy lately. Last week we officially launched VUDU on both LG and Mitsubishi broadband HDTVs, letting owners of those TV get VUDU without having to buy a separate box. We know VUDU is the best possible streaming movie experience around – true 1080p picture quality, 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus surround sound, and no need to drive to the video store (or even walk out to the mailbox.) Today, we’re excited to offer yet another way to get VUDU.
We are joining with LG to add VUDU to their award winning Blu-ray player, the BD390. It’s the best Blu-ray player out there (8.8 on CNET!). Fast response times, outstanding picture, excellent upscaling for normal DVDs, and it’s a network player (meaning it connects to the Internet, in this case via built in wireless). If you’ve been trying to figure out how you are going to get movies in the future, you now have your answer – the BD390 with VUDU lets you watch movies however you want – DVD, Blu-ray or VUDU. For anyone with a home theater, or if you just love watching movies that look and sound great, stop reading this and go get a BD390 now. And if you already bought a BD390? Worry not my friend. You’ll get VUDU automatically via a software update.
We are expanding our service rapidly, bringing HD streaming movies to new and different devices. Our real goal at VUDU is to deliver the absolute best HD streaming movie experience to as many people as possible. If a device lives in your living and connects to the Internet, we think VUDU should be on it. That way you always have access to new Hollywood features in true 1080p and 5.1 surround. Keep an eye out for VUDU to join more TVs and more Blu-ray players – we’re coming soon to your living room. 🙂
