    I went into my acct to see what the balance is and noticed that it says "recurring charge" or something like that. Does this mean that it is going to automatically charge my cc that amount, periodically?
    I think the way it works is it charges the amount you've preset during activation (and replenishes your acct by that amount) if there are insufficient funds to perform a transaction (i.e. if it's about to go in the red). So it's not driven by a time period (i.e. there's no monthly fee etc...) but by your own usage.

    Nope. Unless you use $20 a month in movie rentals!

So once your account balance drops to zero, a new charge of $20 is made (or whatever you requested the amount to be: 20, 50 or 100 were the choices I think). Vudu bucks/credits are used up first.

    Thanks John. I'll do that. My limited experience with vudu customer service has been top notch, as somebody mentioned in another thread.

    I would call customer support and ask about it. If it was to run through the end of January, they will probably still honor it but just aren't promoting it. Most people who have bought boxes this month paid $399 and therefore are going to get a $100 credit...

    When I read about the price drop on Engadget and Gizmodo, my first thought was "finally, AaronWT got his wish", lol

    Perhaps if he starts lobbying for multi-unit functionality (e.g. transfer purchased movies between units), it will happen soon too!

    I'm already sold on it especially after playing around with the display model at Tweeter.

    If you think about it, whether the box updates itself for 22h a day or 24h a day isn't going to make much of a difference.

    Hope you'll like it. I find it has the same effect as DVRs did when they first came out: once you use one, you can't imagine living without it.

    On ordering from Vudu - I think boxes are in stock and ship w/in a day...
    I just talked to VUDU Customer Service and they said that the $50 promotion has ended and I wouldn't be able to get it when I activate the box from Ebay.
    If I could go back a couple of days I could have purchased one locally and received the $50 credit and then also get the $100 credit they just started offering.
    I did end up getting one from Tweeter today but Tweeter wouldn't give it to me for $295, they charged me $400. So VUDU CS did give me the $100 credit.
    So now I need to decide if I am going to keep the Ebay VUDU. Without the $50 credit it doesn't make it as good deal. At least I got it for a good price.

    Anyway I'll hook up the VUDU I got from Tweeter tonight and activate it and then leave it alone. Hopefully the new downloads will be ready within a few of days.

    I won't get the VUDU I purchased off Ebay until Tuesday.
