What's a VUDU?

Sounds more like, "We've been impressed with the amount of cash that VUDU has provided us, and are slumming by making our films available ...on VUDU's lossy on-demand service."

Really: Criterion doing digital downloads? --That's kind of like buying an MP3 of a Mobile Fidelity CD from iTunes, no?

I just went through Vudu's recent offers and indeed, they have added over forty Criterion titles - in standard definition only. And one in HD (For All Mankind).

So far, yes. As I said in the other VuDu thread in Smackdown, shall we discuss Sony's first few Blu-ray titles? Or do we not expect the amount to grow?
