Vudu, our favorite digital content download service, is now offering extended rentals of SD movies for 99 cents within seven days of the initial viewing. HD movies can be extended for $1.99. But that’s not the best part. There’s a new channel dubbed “99 for 99” that offers 99 recent “blockbusters” for, you guessed it, 99 cents. Steven Horn VUDU’s Programming Director and supposed movie expert diligently selects the crop, so you’ll more than likely find something you want to see and it gets refreshed every week. This on top of the porn channel and I’m set for winter.

  • These people are as confused as Amazon. I’m not going to pay them $300 for the privilege of buy/renting exclusively from them. Same thing goes for Amazon’s Kindle. The $99 Roku box used by NetFlix is closer to my threshold of pain. I might spring for that if they ever enable the HD option that (I think) is build in. But I’d rather have a box that works with multiple services.
