    Movies cost more on VUDU?

    For example I can buy NEW The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part I (Special Edition) [Blu-ray] for $12.99 with Free shipping however VUDU wants $22.99 for HDX.

    VUDU should be competitive with other stores/websites. This is just crazy!

    The licensing deals more than likely control the prices. I wouldn't blame VUDU for it. Although I agree with your statement.

      I only purchase HDX titles that are on sale. If prices were more reasonable, I would definitely buy many more HDX movies.

      The D2D program is a great resource, but the number of titles are limited. Still it is a great way to build your Vudu collection.

        I have said it before, and I will say it again. The studio's do not set pricing. That would be a violation of Anti-trust laws. You can also get many films cheaper on Amazon Instant Video and Cinema Now.

          Vudu couldn't charge $22.99 unless people paid that much. Obviously, Vudu is selling at that price, or they'd be forced to lower it. Don't blame Vudu for charging what people are willing to pay. Blame the people who pay $22.99. It's their fault.

            I'm glad there is more competition in the UV marketplace now. CinemaNow is having a CyberMonday sale, and some films are as low as 2.99.

              Does CinemaNow have any movies in HD now? Last time I checked they were all SD.

                CinemaNow does have HD movies now. They added HD support for Intel PC's about a year ago and added it to other devices eventually. Most of their available HD titles are new and recent releases. Their HD catalog is still badly lacking compared to the rest (especially their older titles).

                  Unless I over looked it, so I ask if I buy a movie at Amazon or Cinema will it be an Ultra V or do I need 2 or 3 accounts to get what I want? I would really like to just have one service (VUDU) in my case. Just easier I guess pluss I don't think I have seen AMAzon or Cin. on my Samsung TV apps.

                  However I did notice Avatar on AMazon BUY is $12.99 and on VUDU it is $22.99 so back to my point! WTH!

                      Vudu was the only real UV-enabled retailer (not counting studio websites). So anything you bought on other services would only be watchable on that service. But, CinemaNow just went UV last week. You can import your UV library and you can play them and buy UV movies. Still some bugs like it imports your whole UV library as SD. Nook Video is adding UV support now to their new video service right now (added UV linking but not playing yet).

                      M-Go hopefully launches next month with UV support from day one. Redbox Instant will supposedly support UV when it launches next year. Amazon, the first announced UV retailer, has yet to roll out support. Hopefully, more existing services like Google Play, Xbox, Sony, etc. go UV next year.

                        Thanks, I ended up contacting CinemaNow and they say that the HD movies are only on 1080i and dolby digital. All HD movies are the same resolution.

                          But if they are uv you can buy them there and watch in hdx through vudu. Oddly enough they have a few older movies in hd that vudu only has in sd. I noticed young guns 2 and some of the police academy movies are hd over there and sd here.

                            I wouldn't think that would work, not saying you are wrong as I know little about it but I thought VUDU did all the converting to the movies they sell. If I buy a movie at CN that VUDU doesn't offer how does that movie go from 1080I to HDX and all? I could understand if VUDU sold the same movie etc in HDX but on the otherhand wouldn't VUDU just let you watch it in HD? I'm a little lost on how all that would work..

                              It would work for titles that both companies sell and are UV compatible.
                              You buy the film from your preferred service and it will be viewable anywhere that is UV enabled (Vudu, Flixster, CinamaNow, etc.).
