    They get constant revenue stream. I don't the hassles or having to find all in and outs for easiest and cheapest own what I want.

    Just let me have access to everything for one large fee.

    IE Netflix on double dose of steroids.
    Keep on dreaming.

        I have really yet to see them do this for SD to HDX except when they did a trial promotion on certain TV series, so I doubt you can do this with SD to UHD or HDX to UHD. It would be nice if they would offer something like this, but I am not holding my breath and will just wait for sales to show up.

          I will not pay full price to upgrade to UHD. The quality difference just isn't worth full price. If it is the difference between UHD and UHX then I will most likely upgrade some of my previously purchased titles.

            To make UHD more popular and with the current pricing it would make sense to offer an upgrade price.
            Hopefully they can work something out with the rights owners.

              I don't see this happening for a long time, if ever, mainly because someone could use a DVD, get the HDX for $2, then upgrade to UHD for a total of $12, when they are selling them for nearly $30. They know they would lose a lot of money.

                Well... now people use a DVD, upgrade to HDX for total of $2, when they are selling them for nearly $20... That's the exact same dollar differential as your example...

                  Which new DVDs are $20 that are D2D?

                  Edit: Sorry, misread your comment. Yes, that is true, but they probably are assuming HD nuts will jump at the UHD with the new TVs, so why allow D2D or sales if they assume they can get top dollar? Same reason why we will probably never see D2D TV shows.

                    This upgrade option is a huge question among my group of friends. We all have very large HDX collections... I think knowing a UHD upgrade would come one day would be all we need to really cement VUDU as our home for movies. I think I want to know that what I'm buying on here won't one day be considered worthless like the huge VHS and DVD collections I used to have.

                      My collection is pushing 500 movies at this point. I just recently purchased a Samsung JU7100, and have 100Mb unlimited bandwidth internet. I would absolutely upgrade every single movie in my collection if they would give an upgrade option for both HDX and UHD.

                        I searched for this topic as I am about to buy a 4k set. I find it unacceptable in all ths time this thread has been up there is ot a single response from VUDU.

                        Hello? Is this thing on VUDU?

                          This thread is funny. Can you order a 4K disc upgrade from Amazon for a Blu-ray you already own? Can you go to Best Buy or Target with your DVD or Blu-ray copy and get a 4K disc upgrade for a small fee?

                            Of course not but you can update VUDU SD to HDX for a fee. If the answer is no, fine. My complaint is this thread has whiskers and no response from VUDU. 99% of the time the response (or lack thereof) is worse than the issue one has with vendors.

                              The only way to upgrade from SD to HDX is through Disc to Digital - that's quite a bit different then what everyone in this thread is asking for.

                              And there's nothing for Vudu to respond to - the ability to do this is a studio issue, not a Vudu one. You're best bet is to contact studios that have UHD content like Fox or Warners.

                                While I don't see a permanent upgrade option coming anytime soon, if at all, a possible work around could be some sort of upscale option when you go to stream a title you already own.

                                The option on a HDX movie when you go to start it would just pop up, "would you like to upgrade to UHD for this viewing?" This would give Vudu members an option for UHD without the permanent upgrade. The price could be in the $3-5 dollar range. The logic being that the person already has the title owned so just charge a fee to upscale because most people probably won't run out to replace their entire movie collection to 4k.

                                Out of the 140+ movies I own I can only think of a dozen or so I would really want to upgrade to 4k/UHD. Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Mad Max: Fury Road, all the comic book movies ect.

                                I'm in the market for a new television and since 4k UHD seems to be the norm now I am just spit-balling because I want the best possible movie going experience.
