Vudu was released in October with revision 1.0.

January (late) saw rev 1.2.
So perhaps quarterly for major releases is correct, but I really don't know their schedule any more than you do.

Originally posted by bubka1 View PostThis is a good explanation, and I think many reading this appreciate this distinction. My question is, can't some agreement be made with the distribution companies for allowing this to happen (everyone gets a cut). Just because there are lines, doesn't mean they can't be blurred.
It's just the way it is right now...Sadly...

Originally posted by NA9D View PostWell, there are different licenses agreements for the distribution of a movie:
- Physical Media has one license
- Digital Purhcase has one license
- Digital Rental has one license
So with physical media, being that purchase and rental are covered under the same "physical media" license, you can do what you ask. But digital content is another story at this time and the license differences are the reasons that we have different rent vs. buy times, etc.
If only it were consumer friendly!

I've been given the go ahead to say this. The "goal" from Vudu is to have updates monthly. I say "goal" because developments at times slip and it might not happen every month. So Vudu doesn't want to set up any unrealistic expectations. But the goal is to be able to release updates every 4 weeks (but sometimes it might be longer depending on what happens during testing).
Shultz gave up some of his secrets!!
Thanks!!!

These frequent updates mean that the Vudu techs are listening to us and to the 'competition' and are working their asses off to keep us happy and stay ahead of "the others". GO VUDU!!

Re: Suggestion: Rent... Then Buy!
Originally posted by RobertHodge View PostI totally agree with that sentiment. I'm really a big proponent of having a grand master plan, but getting there in incremental or baby steps.
I agree that baby steps produces a more robust product as long as there is a plan and the deviations from the plan are minimum. One advantage of the baby step plan is that you are more "market" driven.
Since VOD is still in its infancy the baby steps plan fits right in with the market.

Re: Suggestion: Rent... Then Buy!
Originally posted by Rusdude View Postit looks like Vudu has released point updates bi-monthly which is even better
It takes longer for the "big bang" releases and creates excessive speculation, customer impatience, and expectations.
Incremental relases are faster to release and provide a smooth production line like improvement to the product over time.
The people that complain about this approach are the ones that claim it sacrifices quality. But I disgree with that, as long as the "big picture" objective is there.
So I would be totally happy if they could continue to stick to a release pattern similar to what they have exhibited so far.
I've eaten pies a big slice at a time and some pies (especially after Thanksgiving) I've eaten by nibbling at it a little bit at a time for snacks. No matter which way I eat it, the pie is still gone at the end of the day.

Originally posted by Rusdude View PostThat's just something I recall reading here. But since you gave the exact dates, it looks like Vudu has released point updates bi-monthly which is even better -- now we can start spreading rumo... ahem, I mean discussing possible features of March-April update to rev 1.3.
