VUDU soon to add PC-streaming feature

Official word that VUDU jazzed up its service offering with the addition of Pandora came through this morning but now some less-than-official news is creeping out that may be even more interesting. As you can see in the leaked screen shot above, VUDU is currently working on a new feature called Home Movies. According to Zatz Not Funny!, Home Movies will provide a Slingcatcher-like PC to TV streaming experience. It will reportedly allow users to stream H.264 video from a PC to the VUDU box, plugging yet another hole hole as the team continues to add value beyond HD movie rentals and purchases. It looks like the advent of the RIA platform was indeed a pretty effective catalyst for VUDU — let’s hope it can continue to add new features and services as the company makes its best effort to weather the storm.

    I am really on the fence about getting one of these. It seems great from the demo I saw at Best Buy. However, my concern is that they go under and I’m stuck with a $150 door stop.

    Rumor has it they have a very long term business plan and are sitting on lots of cool upgrades that roll out every couple of weeks.

    I bought one back when they were $300 and haven’t looked back. $150 is a steal.

    Liking Pandora too. That’s a cool website!

    Im also on board with VuDu and feel confident that these guys are on top of their game (as well as anyone can in this economic environment) I feel they know what can keep them alive and are continually releasing nice, attractive features that are not costing them cash but are providing the end user value added extras. $150 is worth it.

    Does anyone know if you still get free movie credits with purchase?

    Hopefully this is true. With the recent price cut to $149, if they add a feature for media streaming it will be a very worthy buy. On top of the movie service that already exists.

    Sounds like a very good move.
