Vudu Goes Bricks-And-Mortar, Gets Shelf Space In 24 California Best Buy Outlets

We haven't heard a whole lot from set-top box maker since that $1000 Vudu XL began shipping in March, but this is probably the best thing that has happened to Vudu since their inception. The Vudu set-top box has secured shelf space in 24 California Best Buy's marking the first time the Vudu has been sold in bricks-and-mortar stores since it originally launched last fall. Vudu sought the shelf space after struggling to compete with the Apple TV even though the entry-level Vudu will hold roughly twice the video content of the Apple TV for a price tag $65 more. Since it hit the market, Vudu has added 500 movie titles, bringing the total to 5500, and added 1000 TV shows and 150 HD film titles.
