For the serious home video enthusiast

You started out cautiously. Who could blame you? Truth be told, you weren't entirely convinced that the Vudu box — what with its online video rentals and sales and single-component storage — would fit your lifestyle. And now? The Vudu VXB100 just isn't enough to meet your wildly expanding home-video cravings. Not now that you've discovered the ability to stream real-time, full HD 1080p video into your home. So, it's time to upgrade. It's time for the VBX1000. Offering 1TB of storage — i.e. four times the storage offered by the VBX100 — you can now store up to 500 standard definition videos in the Vudu VBX1000. And that's only the beginning . . .

Ditch the video store

Go ahead — cut up your video store rental card. With VUDU, you'll never have to suffer the late fees, the lines, or the perilous Jerry Springer-esque fighting over the last copy of the new release everyone wants to see. You buy the VUDU VBX1000 box, hook it up to the internet and your TV, and browse a library of 10,000-plus high definition movie and TV titles at will. Choose one, and it starts playing on your TV instantly. And unlike mail-order video services, there's no monthly fee. Rental is per movie or TV episode. No more wasted months where you pay the money but don't have a chance to watch any movies. For that matter, no more waiting for your video to show up in the mail.

Not convinced yet?

Here are a couple more reasons VUDU is the ideal movie rental choice. You can buy or rent movies. If you purchase a movie, it will be stored permanently on your box. If you rent a movie, it remains on the box unwatched for 30 days. Once you press play, a 24-hour viewing period is initiated, after which your rental will expire. Within that 24 hours, you can watch the movie as often as you wish. After a rented movie expires, you may extend the rental for a discounted price. This option is available for 7 days following the expiration of the original rental. And there's nothing stopping you from connecting the box to another TV within your home or in a different house. Even if you don't have access to the Internet at this new location, all movies previously stored on the box will be viewable.

The full HD experience

So you bought a fancy new 1080p HDTV, but it's hard to find content that explores the highest performance standard of your TV. VUDU is your source for truly high definition content. Rent HD movies in native 1080p or SD movies up-scaled to 1080i/p resolution and get the best viewing experience on your HDTV.

Beyond the full HD experience

Only VUDU gives you the freedom to choose between an instant-start HD movie and a higher quality HDX download, both offered at the same price. HDX is a groundbreaking new video format that delivers the highest quality true high definition 1080p content available from any internet, broadcast, or satellite on-demand service. HDX movies are displayed in 1080p at 24 frames per second (fps), the true cinematic gold standard. Ultra-detailed and virtually artifact-free on any size TV screen, HDX movies are displayed at twice the resolution of other Internet HD video formats. HDX technology delivers the best available surround sound quality for Internet delivered movies with immersive, high resolution sound at a 40% higher bit-rate than standard surround sound DVD's. VUDU's unique TruFilm technology optimizes the encoding, transmission and display of HDX movies on 40" HDTVs and larger home theater screens.
