Vudu Cuts Set-Top Box Price By 25% In Response To Apple TV Take 2

Vudu has dropped the price of their set-top box in response to the Apple TV price cuts and upgrade. Vudu has knocked 25% off the price of their set-top box effective immediately, lowering the price from $399 to $295. The company will also offer a $100 credit to anyone who purchased a Vudu in the last 30 days. First released in September 2007, the Vudu offered high-quality, PC-free movie downloads from all major studios, and now includes downloadable TV shows and high-def content as well. Of course, with Apple's recent announcement of the Take 2 upgrade for the Apple TV, Vudu has a competitor with similar set-top box functionality. The Vudu price cut still puts them at nearly $70 more than the 40GB Apple TV and a little more than $30 cheaper than the 160GB Apple model, meaning that Vudu better look at coming up with some new and improved features very soon.
