[Engadget HD] Engadget HD is reporting that some changes may be coming at VUDU. VUDU is a direct digital download competitor to Apple TV. These changes could come in the form of moving away from the retail space and focusing on custom home theater integrated systems. Meanwhile VUDU is planning major announcements for it custom integrated system at CEDIA EXPO. VUDU plans on announcing that they will soon be offering 1,000 HD titles, and a lifetime warranty for purchased titles.
As an Apple TV user, one thing about this announcement which stood out to me was the quote regarding VUDUs HD titles, “The biggest weak point is the lack of purchasable hi-def content,” and that VUDU is working furiously to build its HD library. As of now, if I understand VUDUs service correctly, you are not able to purchase HD titles. But the inference here is that this ability is coming to VUDU, an ability that I think a lot of Apple TV users would love to have, to own HD titles. Could we see this included as part of those iTunes 8 enhancements that Kevin Rose was hinting about? Ah, we can only dream.
