Vudu HD Movies come to Boxee!

Thats right, Boxee does it again!  Today, the Boxee Blog announced that they are adding Vudu's huge collection of on-demand, new release movie titles to Boxee users on Mac, PC, and the forthcoming Boxee Box (amazon.com preorders set to ship Nov 10th)


New Vudu users who signup via Boxee will even get a free movie to try it out.  Count me in.



Movies are $2.00 each for a 2 night rental.  Combine this with the huge library of free content already available, and NetFlix streaming titles at $9.00 per month and you've got better-than-cable choices for a fraction of the cost.

Users of the free Boxee software on PC and Mac will only get SD, but with the Boxee Box, users can get up to 1080p in Dolby Digital 5.1 (depending on your bandwidth):


  • SD (480p) requires 1 Mbps
  • HD (720p) requires 2.25 Mbps
  • HDX (1080p) requires 4.5 Mbps
I know what I'm doing this weekend -- signing up for Vudu and watching a free movie on Boxee!
