Please read the press release:

EVERY CURRENT OWNER AND FUTURE OWNER (for a limited time) WILL GET FREE PERMANENT COPIES of the first two Bourne movies. That is you will own them at no charge if you so choose. If you don't want to own them, don't purchase them for $0.00.

If anyone is looking for these I found them. I searched for the movie "The Bourne Identity". There was one with a little HD up in the corner. I was able to select it and "Activate" the bonus movie. I just briefly checked out the video quality (I need to get some sleep). I would say it is stunning. I'll watch it completely later on. I'm glad to see this type of progress from Vudu. It really gives me faith that this thing will become a tremendous success.

While I appreciate the gesture of free movies, when will other HD movies come on line? The Bourne series is slanted too far to the left for my tastes.

Wow! You read something political into these movies? I consider myself pretty far to the right (I'm not from Rio Linda) and I didn't find anything overtly political in these. Enjoy them for the entertainment value. It's not like the gave us An Inconvenient Lie or Sicko in HD for free...

I suggest you stay away from Ratatouille too. Those socialist French allowing a rat to become a chef - for shame ....

I agree the last movie was definatly a slap in the face to most conservatives out there.

The first one was interesting and had great action, the second a bit boring but did have some action and a cover up...

I'm a conservative but I must not be a very good one b/c I had no clue that it was a slap in the face to me.
