HD movie downloads coming from VUDU

VUDU has announced that they will begin selling HD movies rather than just rent them, becoming the first VOD service to do so.
The agreement was made with notable independent film studios Magnolia Pictures, FirstLook Studios and Kino and VUDU will offer 50 titles in HD beginning this week.

The first title available is the 2008 Best Documentary winner "Man on Wire" followed by FirstLook's "Transsiberian" and "War, Inc."

VUDU currently offers 1400 HD movies for rental and you can purchase the 50 titles in either "standard HD" or VUDU's own HDX format.

Purchased titles can be saved to your VUDU box or stored in the VUDU Vault and sell for $14 USD to $24 USD.
