    Yeah, I know ... Thanks, you have a talent for stating the obvious ...

    If it is just a matter of weeks, why don't you just "take a vacation" from new releases for a couple of weeks and look for some older movies that you may never have seen before. Then, when you "come back" you could just look at Vudu's release schedule and not the other one. Since the schedule that studios use to release is arbitrary, it shouldn't make a difference.

    We don't have kids and we watch very little network TV, so we do have more time for movies. I guess that's why we look forward to new releases more than most here ...

    How do you have the time to watch all these as soon as they come out? Between kids and network TV, I'm lucky if I get to new movies a month later.

    Wow...I never even see the blockbuster movies in the theater until they have been out for at least two weeks, just to avoid the crowds...yes, we still go to the theater once in a while (mostly weekend matinees), just to get out of the house. Most movies I don't care to see in the theater I either buy at the next Deep Discount DVD sale (twice a year), or wait until it comes on basic cable to see if it's worth buying. At least, that's what I did until I got my VUDU!

    It does sound like the Vudu isn't for you. Maybe it would be a good idea to sell it. I know there's a couple of us here on the forums that would gladly take your box off your hands.

    I'm sorry that with all the wonderful features of the box and the ability to watch things immediately that it still doesn't fit your requirements. I agree 100% with you that I think it silly that ALL movies aren't both rental and purchasable from the moment they are released. It is annoying. But I guess I'm willing to wait more than two months for the studios to come around to this. Anyhow, I am truly sorry it didn't work out for you.

    Yep, I've told VUDU that, while I understand that extended features may take a back seat to delivering movies, if they make it a media extender for video, and audio, users will be using the interface a LOT more, and while we're using the VUDU anyway, we'll probably say "Hey, let's check the paid content and see if there's a movie we feel like seeing?" I think it would be really good for content sales, as well as a feature I know I'd use every day.

    I put that in as a request as well. Either podcast support, or better yet the ability to stream from another system on my network.

    There are plenty of video podcasts I'd love to watch in my living room, some of which are actually in HD (Tekzilla anyone?) - since the Vudu needs to stay closed, I think simply using the drive to buffer content that's streamed from another machine would be a reasonable solution - sort of like what Orb does, but at a much higher level of quality.

    Either allow the Vudu to browse my network, or come up with a small Orb-like app that sits on my machine with all my video podcasts and let me pick directories for the Vudu to have access to.
