![]() Blu-ray prices continue to drop but the sacrafice of sharability, extras, and nice packaging seems like a strong case for digital copies to be significantly cheaper. I am definitely a fan of the VUDU UltraViolet service and think this is a big step in the right direction. Other titles such as Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, The Watch, Ice Age: Continental Drift will also be available for around $15 before their disc releases. Starting September 18th, Fox will be serve movies to under the name Digital HD (DHD) and the first title is Prometheus, which will be made available about 3 weeks before the Blu-ray (October 11, 2012). Not enough? What if Fox sweetened the deal by giving the digital copy an advanced release date over the DVD/Blu-ray? How do you get people to purchase something that isn’t selling well? Lower the price, of course! That’s the strategy Fox is banking on to boost digital copy sales on services like Amazon, CinemaNow, iTunes, and VUDU. Wreck-It Ralph Will Be Disney’s First Movie Released Earlier Digitally This entry was posted in Movies/TV and tagged ultraviolet, vudu, wavelength on Januby Mark Azali. In the meantime, don’t forget to link your Disney Anywhere account to your Vudu and Google Play account to maximize/consolidate your digital locker collection. ![]() While having access to our friends’ collections is swell, I’d much rather watch movies on an actual home theater than my computer screen. One of Vudu’s strengths as an Ultraviolet provider is their high bitrate video and surround sound that really makes watching movies immersive. It also remains unknown if Wavelength is planning any connected apps for devices like game consoles and the Roku. Until then, we’ll have to patiently wait for wavelength to sort, what I assume, its legality issues out. Ulltraviolet could really leverage Wavelength as a marketing tool to help debunk myths that the nearly universal cloud service is as easy to use as its hard core users try to pitch it as. Perhaps an initial invite only launch would have kept their service, which seems to skirt around the terms of service for Ultraviolet, under the radar more. Wavelength seemed to crop up out of no where and I suspect they may have put the cart in front of the horse. ![]() Why would Wavelength need access to my Vudu account if my Vudu account has titles that aren’t Ultraviolet? That seemed a little odd considering Vudu itself is just another gateway to the Ultraviolet service like Flixster and even M-GO. The first somewhat alarming flag I noticed while registering was a prompt to enter your Vudu login. I’m not sure you can call their beginning a start as I was never able to experience any of Wavelengths promised features due to their site having trouble keeping up with the high traffic once folks became aware of it.
