    Redbox is coming very soon and if they are priced where an online rental "should" be and if they allow you to watch the entire movie before your time runs out then I would expect to see them in second place fairly quick. We rarely rent movies from Vudu because of the cost and since we can drive down the road and pick up a movie for $1.50 at RedBox.

    Plex lets you add an iTunes library as a channel. It don't work great, but does work. Much more slick is the AppleTV set top box linked to the iTunes in the house. That is really slick.

    I have both a Roku XD and AppleTV. If I am going to be watching something from the iTunes library (pod-casts, etc), I like to do so from the tv connected to the AppleTV box.

    Re: UltraViolet Market Trends:

    There is a new report out that compares VOD EST and rental market-share of different retailers.

    In the EST market, which is the one that matters as far as Ultraviolet,

    iTunes: 65%
    Amazon Instant Video: 10%
    Xbox Marketplace: 10%
    Other: 16%

    This means that vudu has less than 10% total share. We have a long way to go before iTunes starts feeling competition from UV retailers. At least until Amazon or Xbox becomes a UV retailer.

    In the Rental Market:

    iTunes: 45%
    Amazon Instant: 18%
    Vudu: 15%
    Xbox Marketplace: 14%
    Other: 8%

    Much better here, but doesn't matter in terms of UV competiton.

    started a topic UltraViolet Market Trends:

    UltraViolet Market Trends:

    In the UK, the largest retail chain, Tesco (also the 3rd largest in the world), offers a Vudu like service out of their Blinkbox product. Blinkbox is like Redbox in the U.S..

    The head of Tesco's division:
    Michael Comish, CEO of Blinkbox/Tesco Digital Entertainment, told Peve Conference delegates that it had been "a matter of timing" that Tesco and UltraViolet hadn't been working together.

    "At the moment, Tesco is a massive physical retailer (of entertainment) and a smaller digital one," Comish said. ""I expect that to switch around, and we will do everything in line with our customers desires."

    A few weeks ago, I had occasion to be in a pawn store to liquidate a Bluray player that had been collecting dust in my garage. I noticed they had several stacks of DVDs prominently on their counter. The clerk who checked me out told me they had stopped taking DVDs. According to him, so many people were selling their DVDs and instead going to streaming services that the pawn store had decided to just sell off their remaining inventory and stop taking any new.

    I took a copy of "Gothika" off his hands for $2.00 and brought it to WalMart to add to my 1080p UV collection for $5.00. It then went with the rest of my physical media into a box in my garage.

    It is very clear too that at least in the company that I keep, about half of the households have dropped broadcast content delivery out of their MRC (monthly reoccurring charges) and instead have gone to streaming only.

    The quote from Mr. Comish just goes to reinforced what I understand to be a widely held belief in the entertainment industry. That being consumers are moving in a mass exodus fashion to streaming sources for their entertainment content. It seems clear as good crystal to me that is the case. What we are seeing is simply the economic invisible hand moving to fulfill the desires of entertainment content consumers.
