Vudu promises 1,000 HD movies, plus lifetime content warranty

Vudu seems to be doing a fairly decent job of keeping their name out in the news lately, it was not that long ago that they announced their ”99 for 99” and we cannot forget the recent move into additional Best Buy retail locations. Now they have come back promising a total of 1,000 HD quality movies to choose from, as well as a lifetime content warranty.

Of course they were not able to give a specific availability date for these new titles, stating that “in a very short time we’ll have 1,000 HD titles.” They also seemingly proudly pointed out that they will have “more than Blu-ray” and that they also “have some huge deals.” I guess it pays to be proud of what you are offering, however it almost seems like the proud parent bragging about how good their son or daughter is.

In addition to the new HD movie titles that are coming, and perhaps more important, Vudu is also planning a lifetime content warranty for any of your purchased titles, which means that a crashed hard drive will not be something you will have to worry about, at least on your Vudu box. Sadly it does seem like this will be a paid option though, as it was stated that Vudu “plans to sell a lifetime warranty on purchased content,” however no mention was made of any price. Of course while they did state, “lifetime” warranty they did not mention if it was your lifetime or theirs. Its only safe to think its their lifetime, so lets hope Vudu remains available on the market.
