VUDU Inc.'s VUDUBX100 was also honored with an "Innovations 2008" award. The company launched the VUDU XL, a new high-end version of its already successful VUDU box for integration into high-end home theaters. The VUDU XL has one terabyte of storage to hold 500 movies and uses a peer-to-peer scheme to download movies.

What is VUDU?

VUDU delivers what no one else does-instant access to HD films, TV shows, and approximately 5,000 movies, from blockbusters to independent films, with more added every week.

How to choose?

VUDU offers highly evolved but easy-to-use tools for discovering movies-you might search by title, actor, or director or browse through genres, New Releases, or special collections, like Directors' first features.

Features:

Instant access - VUDU is movie freedom. Choose your movie and watch it immediately- no waiting and no buffering.

Pay as you go - VUDU has no activation fees and no subscription fees. Rentals range from 99¢ to $3.99, purchased movies from $4.99 to $19.99. TV episodes are $1.99.

High Quality Video - VUDU's proprietary encoding, decoding, and up-converting technologies enable HDTVs to display their best capabilities.

Your Personal Digital Library - The VUDU box holds the TV and movies you rent or buy through the service. You'll be done with stacks of DVD cases, crowded mega-stores, and scratched disks.

Future-Ready - VUDU's hardware is designed to go the distance. It displays HD content up to 1080i/1080p24 and has two USB ports for future storage options (available within six months).

Constantly Evolving - VUDU belongs to a new class of CE devices that live at Internet speed. While the hardware is final, the software is continually updated with new features, new movies and TV. What you buy today is not what you'll experience six months from now-it'll only get better and better.
