To each his own. I swear I think some folks just like to look around the forum to see who they can dog. So childish.

Does this mean you no longer have a use for Blu-ray if your Vudu system works out?

While I seriously doubt Vudu downloads are up to BD quality, I'm sure they are good enough for many. I'm always interested in what other people do because it influences the overall market. Most people here seem to think BD's competitors need to have equal or better PQ and audio. They dismiss anything else as folly. I believe differently. Most people I know are happy with Verizon, Comcast and Dish HD broadcast and their HD download rentals. Basically it's good enough for them. This is unfortunate, I guess. But realistically, most people don't even have a audio system for their HT or at best a piece of crap HTiB. So superior sound isn't on their top 10 list. Also considering the TV size 50" and smaller, most consumers won't actually see the difference unless you point it out to them. And even then they might not care.

Basically I'm a person who loves to go to BB. I rent on impulse, stroll the isles until I find something I want to watch today. I have no desire to ever buy a BD title, but BD is my media of choice. I want the best picture and sound I can afford. Unfortunately, with the rise of RedBox, cable & Dish HD rentals, I see the day of brick and mortar video stores as numbered. Sucks to be me...
