Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) is now competing directly with the likes of Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX), Coinstar’s (Nasdaq: CSTR) Redbox, and Hulu with a new VUDU streaming service. Wal-Mart customers will now be able to stream new and old movies directly from walmart.com.
VUDU offers a large selection of HD movies in HDX 1080p with Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surround sound. Movies are available the same day they are released on DVD or Blu-ray, and can be rented or purchased without a subscription.
VUDU is available on Internet-capable HDTVs and Blu-ray Disc players from FUNAI Electronics, LG Electronics, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, SANYO, Sharp, Sony, Toshiba and VIZIO, and on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system from Sony.
To celebrate the launch on Walmart.com, VUDU is inviting fans on Walmart's Facebook page to vote for a new release title that will be available to rent for only 99 cents. The titles to choose from include: "Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules" (PG), "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" (PG-13), and "Gnomeo and Juliet" (PG).
The new release title with the most votes by 5 p.m. EDT Wednesday will be available to rent for just 99 cents on Friday, July 29.
