HD Digital Titles May Be Delayed by More Than Bandwidth
Posted by iTVX Staff on August 14th, 2008
That flood of demand for high-definition digital titles may be a little farther off than some studios and content providers had hoped.
Movie-download service Vudu said this week that it will let customers renew high-definition movie titles for $1.99. The company, which offers standard-definition renewals for 99 cents, charges $3.99 to $5.99 for first-time rentals of HD titles.
“In this age of $4-a-gallon gas and ‘staycations,’ we felt that Vudu customers deserved a break,” said Patrick Cosson, the company’s vice president of marketing. Of Vudu’s 6,500 titles, about 200 are available in HD.
