    Speed at which new movies appear question

    All,

    We recently took advantage of the Mitsubishi offer where you buy a new Mitsubishi TV and get a free VuDu player & $50 credit in movies.

    We haven't received our unit yet, but a question I have is how quickly do movies show up on the VuDu service from the time they are released?

    For example, my daughter has been hyped up to watch Hannah Montana movie. It came out on Tuesday 8/18. I looked on the VuDu website and didn't see it listed as a New to Rent movie. I couldn't use the search feature since I'm not yet a customer, so I couldn't check that way.

    Typically, what is the time frame that movies show up on the service from the date they are released on DVD?

    Thanks!

    generally they are out right around the same time they are released to disc. I don't see the HM movie on the web site either, but I did see it when I was browsing my Vudu earlier...it was one of the titles on the home page. As I understand it, it is up to the studio as to whether the title can be rented or purchased, and what level of encoding (sd, hd, hdx) can be offered.

      Cool deal, thanks for the follow-up on this!

      Maybe a suggestion for the Vudu folks would be to update their movie list on the website so it matches the content list on the player.. Would really help potential customers, such as myself.

        I think that HM movie is available for purchase only at the moment. Often films like this become available for rent a few weeks after that. Sometimes, unfortunately, they never become available for rent and remain for purchase only. As the previous poster said, this is all up to the studios.

          Purchase works too, would save us from having to go to WalMart to buy it (which we are going to have to do). Thanks for the quick responses! Looking forward to getting our Vudu box!
