At first glance the Vudu looks very sleek, I love the black and blue color scheme on the machine. For HD content the Vudu is number one in delivering the most content. The only catch is that the Vudu is $300. Vudu has licensing to Universal, Paramount, Lionsgate, and some other producers. Also keep in mind, that you cannot stream downloaded content from one room to another, meaning you need to purchase another Vudu if you would like to watch different HD content. The Vudu machine is pretty compact, and there is no heating issues, which means if you would like to hide the Vudu in a drawer or something you can go ahead and do it. The remote that comes with the Vudu is amazing as well, the output for the Vudu is at 1080p with 24 fps. Compared to Blu-ray, Blu-ray still reigns supreme in image quality. It costs about $4-$6 for movie rentals.
