    VUDU Makes David Pogue?s Gadget List of 2008

    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/07/te...pagewanted=all

    From the article:
    "* Movies. I bought the Vudu box this year ($300). Its hard drive contains the first 30 seconds of 5,000 movies. When you pick one to watch, it starts playing immediately--and the next section of movie downloads in the background. Great quality, huge selection, elegant software.The best part: no monthly fees. Movies cost $2 to $4 to rent, or $15 to $20 to buy, meaning that they stay on your Vudu hard drive forever. So when life gets busy, I don't pay anything.
    The service keeps improving since I reviewed this thing last September. More hi-def movies, more TV shows, better features.
    I canceled my HBO and Showtime subscriptions--something like $240 a year--which made very little economic sense for us. If I'm lucky, I have time for two or three movies in a month, so it's much more economical to pay as I go."

    I ended up doing the same quite a while ago, but wow I didn't realize that it added up to THAT much. I was really only thinking of the monthly [Unnamed Satellite Provider ] bill, not so much of how much it added up to over time.

      Same is true for a lot of small recurring or everyday purchases. I'm sure if people realized how much they were spending on Starbucks annually, the company would be in even more trouble!

      Anyway, I think it's pretty cool that Pogue like Vudu so much (gave it a glowing video review too). Especially, since he's in a pocket of Steve Jobs, lol
