Wal-mart is Buying Vudu

…If Wal-mart is one thing, it’s main stream. You can’t throw a rock without hitting one. That means Vudu is now instantly main stream as well. Hopefully Wal-mart will change the name of the service. Let’s face it, ‘Vudu’ doesn’t really make most people think of instant access to new release movies.
When the Vudu service gets Wal-mart-ized, you can bet it will be simple, straightforward and super easy to use. It will have to hit the setup and use requirements of other electronics sold at Wal-mart. Not that Vudu was all that challenging, but Wal-mart knows their shoppers. If it’s easy to use and easy to understand, they’ll sell a ton of boxes making downloaded/streamed movies commonplace in thousands of homes.
Wal-mart also has a little bit of pull with electronics manufacturers. They could begin to demand that Vudu technology appear in the Wal-mart versions of TVs and Blu-ray players, extending the availability of the service even more. It isn’t too far fetched to believe that in the near future every Blu-ray player from Wal-mart would include Vudu technology. If it’s built into the Wal-mart models, it might make economic sense to just build it into the rest of them you can buy from Amazon, Best Buy or Costco as well…
