More options always better. As someone mentioned above, SD and HD prices are similar, sometimes better than the PS Store, iTunes and Amazon. plus they have HDX.

I love Netflix, I do streaming only but it’s not compatible to VuDu. They’re different products, streaming on Netflix doe not have the same content or as new as VuDu. It’s great in it’s own right but still different.

I assume Sony gets paid something from Netflix, VuDu, Hulu + for allowing their apps to appear on the PS3. Makes sense huh?

Add in MLB.tv and NHL app with the best blu ray player around, a kick ass gaming system and the PS3 becomes the deal of a life.

Now…Being in Canada when i heard about the VUDU’s release, i wasted my precious time searching through the whole goddamn Playstation Store only to give up looking for it. I mean WTF, whats wrong with the US always getting it, and we are right next door, and we never get anything until after the time period we always have to wait. Can’t these companies set the agreements or whatever also for Canada when they do it for U.S. I actually was excited when we hear things like these and now it is less than important to be concerned about.

Still waiting for the vudu app to show up in the PS3 store under the “media” tab. It is not there. Maybe someone could point me to the right place to download the app? Figured it would be on there, but it isn’t!

Why would this be done again? Why would I pay as I go when I have Netflix on the PS3 and watch any movie or TV show for one low payment a month? On top of that, their movies and TV shows are also in HD, the only downside is that most of their content does not offer 5.1 surround sound. The PlayStation network does claims to offer it, but I’ve had issues with them in the past because of that (false advertisement), and is way more expensive. If I want to watch a movie that just came out I can always requested on Netflix and watch it at home, or online. Adding more “stuff” like that would only annoy people since it is getting a little ridiculous.

Everything is US Only, that’s why Piracy is so high in Latin America, they [movie studios and tv networks] don’t realize that. These services are way cheaper than cable tv and movie rentals, and there’s also the wait, In Latin America movies and tv shows arrive six month later. For many people the only option left is to use bitorrent and direct downloads networks to get this content.

@120 Everything he just said was actually done by the previous administration and for the medicare part, let’s just not go there. Just FYI.

@136: you can do the testing yourself after 11/23. You will have a free rental movie of HDX (1080p price from 4-$6). Once you rent HDX/1080p quality you can switch between HDX/1080p to HD/720p to SD/480p (if you have enough bandwidth).

Do the experiment yourself for free, no credit card involved (just a bit of pain to type your email address). Do it for fun on the quality movies such as Disney Earth or Oceans to see the differences.

I agree with you. The fancy HDX/1080p doesn’t help the old TV shows a bit. :)

Has anyone compared SD vs. HD downloads on their PS3? If SD is $2 and HD $6 is their really that big of a difference? I know for certain sci-fi special effects heavy stuff it probably matters but for crap like Grownups or chick flicks? I have a 52″ 1080p tv but the PS3 does a good enough job of upgrading DVDs that I only get blu-ray for stuff I know I want in HD but for comedies and old tv shows I won’t pay extra.

I think it’s mistaken to compare Netflix and VUDU in term of pricing.

Netflix is like a buffet restaurant, one can pay a flat fee to eat as much as he/she wants from whatever being offered. The food is like you guest “it’s cheap”. VUDU is like other kind of restaurant, user can pay for what he/she really likes, and eats what he/she needs to consume for that moment. Should every restaurant be converted to buffet? That question is like should every other movie services must have a cheap subscription flat fee.

Customers pay $$$ to buy HDTV, (3D TV is coming up in the corner), 5.1/7.1 home theater – should they enjoy older 480p movies, the technology of decade ago? Someone should always be happy with buffet food, just like someone will just be happy with paying $$$ to watch/stream older movies at 480p.

Remember folks! “You get what you pay for”. Do some diligence and compare VUDU pricing with Apple iTunes, or Amazon, or Cinema Now for the same kind of service (restaurant :) )
