Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
Did anyone else get a $5 coupon/credit from Vudu for the new PS3 update? It says that it's for a rental, but I'm curious if I can use it for any purchase.

There's a lot of rumors going around that Disney Movies Anywhere will add Vudu. Possibly as soon as tomorrow. They're teasing a big announcement on the DMA Facebook page:

I got one too. It can be used for any purchase. If you go through the steps to buy a title, you'll see the $5 deducted from your total on the Confirm Purchase page.

Now I'm reading that it's just Disney making a deal with Google to provide an app on Android devices. Free Wreck It Ralph when you connect.

Disney Copy Plus codes are redeemable at Vudu. But those have only been around for the past year or so.
Before that, all Disney digital copies were iTunes only. If the DMA program connects to Vudu, then all the old iTunes digital copies will transfer over to your Vudu library.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
This is Vudu Spark, Walmart’s very own Chromecast competitor
Add Walmart to the list of companies that’s trying to sell you a Chromecast-like HDMI streaming stick: The retail giant’s Vudu streaming service is getting ready to unveil a HDMI stick dubbed Vudu Spark that is meant to — surprise — give users access to Vudu. The stick popped up in the FCC database this week, which tends to be a good sign that a release is imminent.
The filing, which was done on behalf of the device’s South Korean manufacturer Inktel Corporation, comes with a bunch of unredacted details, including photos of the device as well as a user manual that describes the pretty straightforward functionality of the Spark streaming stick: Upon starting it for the very first time, users have to set up their Wi-Fi network. After that, it automatically launches into the Vudu app.
There is no mention of any other apps or features, so it looks like the Vudu Spark is very much a one-trick pony. The device does come with a remote control to navigate through the on-screen menus of the Vudu app, which uses Zigbee RF as opposed to Wi-Fi Direct, so you shouldn’t expect Miracast or any similar type of mirroring functionality either.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
I have to assume it'll be free with some blu-rays as a pack-in at some point. I'm tired of all these basic streaming sticks, somebody needs to do one that, instead of just an HDMI dongle, is an HDMI pass-thru like the XB one.

I don't think they're aiming to compete, this is probably intended for those that don't know a whole lot about "streaming". And other Walmart shoppers.

Sure is smaller than the first Vudu box...

Doesn't have compete with other streaming boxes.
If they sell it cheaply enough to Walmart customers and lock them into buying and renting streaming movies from Vudu, then they've accomplished their goal.
Much like printers, give away the printer (Vudu spark) and make the money on the ink/toner (movies).

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
Disney movies are now showing a Disney Movies Anywhere logo (where the UV logo is usually located). That DMA/Vudu announcement should be coming soon.
