Review: Vudu Movie Service (Part 3: Convenience)

In Part 1 of my Vudu review, I profiled my movie watching habits and in Part 2, I talked about setting up the Vudu box. For this segment, let’s look at the convenience of Vudu.

Pulp reader susie commented that going to the old fashioned neighborhood Blockbuster was still her MO. In my younger, single days that’d be true. But in my stage of life with young kids, a visit to Blockbuster is just too hard. Getting the kids packed then toting them around the store looking for a movie is not worth the effort. Can you relate, parents?

One more comment about Netflix. While getting DVDs in the mail was easy, I must admit that Netflix came with a certain level of stress. Watching a movie then getting the disc back in the mail quickly so the next movie would come added undue stress. Letting DVDs sit unwatched was also somewhat stressful. Not looking for more stress in my life, letting go of Netflix was cathartic.

So this is where the convenience of Vudu comes in. Buying or renting movies on Vudu is super easy. There’s no driving involved and with a 30-day rental period, the stress of finishing a movie is minimal.

How easy is it to get a movie on Vudu? It’s this easy.

I’m McLovin it! And don’t forget, the movie is downloading off the Net as you’re watching. The quality and speed ain’t too shabby, huh?
