I keep seeing people pitch VUDU as a walmart owned property, etc. I am wondering if someone can explain to me the realities of VUDU. I can't figure out any way by which it makes any economic sense. Let me put it this way:
Rent high def:
VUDU, fair selection: $5.
Redbox, minimal selection: Blurays $1.50
Netflix: available post window (which seems to be case of VUDU, which lags Redbox), part of monthly fee..
Buy High Def, examples:
Bluray title 1:
Cost at Walmart to Buy: $19.95
Cost of VUDU digital Copy: $15.
Of course, no extras, redownloads, and lower quality on the VUDU compared to BD.
Streaming options:
Netflix: watch whatever you want, unlimited ($7)
VUDU: Pay for what you watch. (no fee except what you watch, but 2 flicks for example would be $11/12)
I can't for the life of me figure out how there is any value at all in a service like VUDU. I can't see why people would chose VUDU over almost anything else out there. Can anyone explain their business plan?
