    It's supposed to be $15 for HD from all retailers during at least during the 3 week early window. It may revert back to usual new release pricing on the blu-ray release date. Not sure at this point

        What happened to 3 Weeks Early Release?

        Fox is releasing UV purchase for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter only 2 weeks early on Oct 9th. I think I'll get this if $14.99. Good to see 7.1 sound on Vudu also.

          Man i had high hopes for that movie but it was not good IMO. There was maybe 2 cool scenes but other than that, it was a let down.

Its ridiculous.

              Re: Vudu it better not cost more

              It's a company's responsibility to charge as much for a product or service as they can. Every company wants to maximize profitability. You would do the same thing, if you owned a company. No company would leave money on the table.

              As a customer, you have the ability to refuse to pay for a product or a service if you believe that the company is charging more than it's worth. If enough people agree with you, then the company will be forced to lower their prices. There are other variables that you, as a customer, know nothing about. You have no idea what Vudu's markup is. Studios don't just give movies to Vudu and tell them to enjoy. Vudu has to pay the studios for the right to offer the movies to you. How much do they have to pay the studios? I have no idea, it's none of my business. All I can do is to decide whether to buy or not to buy, based on the asking price.

              I know, I know. You have the brilliant idea that if Vudu sold movies for less, more people would buy them, and ultimately Vudu would make more money. Do you really think it's as simple as that? Do you think Vudu overlooked such a simple concept? I'm sure it's a much more involved process. So many consultants here, it's a shame the people who know how Vudu can make money are customers and not employees.

                The studios probably force Vudu to sell at a certain price or not carry it at all. In my opinion if buy a movie in 3D HDX you should have it available for free in 2D HDX.

                  If you want an example of why selling things for so much less than everyone else doesn't work, just Google a company named Steve & Barry's. They used to sell brand new jeans for $5, and they were pretty good quality. They also had low priced t-shirts, shoes and other similar things. You'd figure being able to beat anyone else's price would work, but the company didn't last long.

                  I'm all for having lower prices for digital media, and what Fox is doing with their DHD program for $15 is a nice step in the right direction, but it's not always a smart business model. If done the right way and for the right amount of time it can be successful. I'm all for paying less, but I also think we all need these companies to stay in business and turn a profit.

                    Re: Vudu it better not cost more

                    Which do you think makes the most sense?

                    15.00 for a digital copy or
                    24.99 for a digital copy 3 weeks in advance and have the blu-ray dvd shipped to your house or blu-ray shipped to your house from wal-mart

                    Usually you pay 24.99 for a blu-ray + digital copy
                    blu-ray + dvd + digital copy and sometimes you pay that and get no digital copy.

                    That's the retail end


                    But going to the movies and paying to watch this movie with 5 people is around 30 to 50 dollars for a one time event whereas with 15.00 you own the movie.

                    --------------------------------------------------------------------------I thought the reason they were doing 15.00 early was to get profits on digital sales they might not get if it was priced at 24.99 and save money on the production costs and shipping of the blu-ray dvds etc

                    But with promoethus not only are they not doing that they are now shipping it to your house adding more cost then it would of been if they shipped in bulk to a store per unit. I can see how they are getting a wider customer base by getting these addresses but wouldn't they be getting that information if they got access to that user information as part of the deal in the first place.


                    The message it sends to me is that the digiltal copy is worth more then the blu-ray dvd. 15.00 is 60 percent the cost of the normal purchase (24.99)where before it was almost all of it if you bought from vudu etc compared to buying it from retail. Most people can wait 3 weeks to watch a movie but once the price goes to half the cost I might consider buying these directly. Now the real winner would be to allow you to rent for 7.50 and have the option to upgrade to buy within 48 hours for an additional 7.50. 15.00 total alot of people won't take a 15.00 chance on a movie and would like to buy movies they like. 7.50 to rent with the option to buy gives you a theatre experience but much later. You have the option to lose that 7.50 or pay an additional 7.50 and own. With this adjusted model it addresses 2 price points with upgradable options.

                      Re: Vudu it better not cost more

                      I agree that we obviously do not have a full understanding of all that goes into the agreement vudu has with the film companies or the profit margin etc (and I think we are all undervaluing the convenience of having your movie collection in the cloud with you wherever you are, which is a HUGE plus for me)...HOWEVER, we do know that there are no costs associated with making and selling an actual physical product, which in turn should allow companies more flexibilty with pricing. The other side of this is that I think we can all agree that UV is the production companies big push to come into the digital age, which would help them to regain some of the ground lost to piracy, streaming services etc. It seems to me that if they have all agreed to support this service, they should work together to do whatever they can to make this a viable option for the consumer. I do think that selling these pre-releases for $15 a pop is a HUGE step in the right direction and we should all support this, showing the production companies that they can still make a profit at a lower price point. The problem is that a lot of people have already been scared away by all of the launch issues with UV that they will need to be patient enough to allow people the time to rediscover this great digital service now that its ironed out many of its kinks.

                          "physical product": as in producing a physical DVD disc or case etc.

                            I think he means that when we buy digital-only, there is no cost of physical packaging and production, so it could/should cost less.

                              I agree with the comment above. Vudu didgital files should be priced less because there is no packaging disc manufacturing costs involved. However, I suspect it's the studios that determine the asking price of the digital files.

                              Vudu prices for HDX movies often costs more - sometimes A LOT MORE - than the price to purchase a blu-ray of that same movie.

                              That means I am not going to purchase the Vudu file. I will get the blu-ray instead.

                              If Vudu prices were 20 to 25 percent LESS than a blu-ray, I would be swayed to buy more HDX files.

                              That being said, I did purchase 5 of the Bond HDX files that were on sale this weekend for $9.99 each.

                              Vudu will get my money only when they offer a decent sale price.

                              I will never pay Vudu $67.99 for the Indiana Jones Digital Bundle!
