Blu-ray still beats it out for me. Digital is great for a quick fix or when I get too lazy. I will also agree that older television in digital looks better than dvds. But Blu-ray is still king (at least until I get a 4k set and a 4k player).

VUDU's end of the year sales. I think these start December 26th.

Great list...thanks EddieMoney. I'll definitely be picking a few up if those prices go live.

It's close enough in PQ for me. There was a time when I would have slapped myself silly for thinking that, but I don't care as much as I used to. Now I value space and convenience.

So they've cut out 720 HD? That really sucks, only having SD and HDX is particuarly bad for my POS smart TV without the processing power to handle VUDU in HD .

It has highlighted for me how inferior streaming can still look disc, even with a good connection. So that's in perspective.

They cut it as a purchasing option, but VUDU will still stream in 720p HD when necessary:

Someone want to go through this and post what the really "good" deals are (i.e, new and/or really popular titles at new low prices)? I have to work, dammit!

I was thinking the same darn thing when I saw that spreadsheet...I filtered it a bit here and there for a few minutes but then I just got bored with it, LOL.

Btw, I figured I would cross post but the new VUDU app in Xbox One is awesome. It's no longer a complete piece of shat.

Features I saw personally last night that were different & better from the last version:

1. Filter collection and sort alphabetically or by genre, year, etc. Just like the one on the web.
2. Watchlist, have you ever watched 20 minutes of something and then forget about it like me? Well, the watchlist saves your wagon and of course you can delete and add other stuff to it too.
3. Checkmarks for the TV seasons you own rather than "You Own It", ten times better method.
4. Autoplay (with 10 second countdown) for TV Seasons on the next episode. Great for binge watchers. Of course you can back out as needed.
5. Overall, better quality of picture (at least it felt like it to me). Supposedly, 4k owners will be able to stream 4k too with the proper hardware.

Does this help?

does Vudu ever go down? i can't access correctly on tv or PC...

E Unit

And that is why I'll always prefer physical media.

OldBoy

This is truly a first. And these non Vudu extras, the ones that say + extras, why can't I access on tv?

E Unit

Service is down, internet connection, system/TV issues, take your pick as to what it may be.

On a side note, My bedroom TV was updated and the FandangoNow widget was added. Shit layout though, but at least there's an alternative.

Yeah, they are slowing converting the "plus" extras to regular Vudu extras which can be streamed on television...but they aren't there yet. Just keep watching is all I can say. My VUDU was working fine last night, but we get occasionally issues too. I do agree, keep physical copies of the stuff I really like, digital is just backups, television series (that I don't feel like collecting physically), and movies I wouldn't have wasted space on anyway.

Edit: Also, VUDU...thank you for changing the VUDU app in time for Christmas on X1...but $6, first 1000:

That's got to be a joke. Millions of customers and you offer it to the first thousand? No company is that stupid.

E Unit

Vudu begs to differ.

Hulkabrgr

I sent a message to Vudu this morning about the code. Their response is below. Hopefully they will offer something similar to everyone (especially us east coasters who were asleep when the code was offered).

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. That code has been maxed out but we should have an update for everyone soon.

E Unit

Update will be that they will offer another 1000 codes, valid for only those on the East Coast.

Kedrix

And their last names have to start with SHI...? Please tell me that's a joke.

OldBoy

i called customer service, waited a bit, but got a $10 credit. might be worth it...

hanshotfirst1138

Yeah, but my TV is 1080p and unfortunately the processor has trouble handling the full resolution. It'd be nice to switch to the middle.

OldBoy

You know that Vudu credit for La La Land with participating movies is terrible. You have to go through Atom site and pay a processing fee. The fuck??

OldBoy

if I rent from Vudu, is that sharable as well to another user for the 30 days?
