Vudu soon to offer HD movie purchases over set-top box

There are quite a few movie download services these days that allow HD movies to be rented. But none offer Vudu's HDX video format, and none offer HD movie purchases. Yep, that's right. Vudu has announced that a limited number of HD titles will be available for purchase, instantly over the set-top box. The initial rollout will consist of 50 titles from Firstlook, Magnolia and Kino, and Vudu hopes to get the major Hollywood studios on board in the future. Of course, you'll still be able to rent and if you're willing to wait for a longer download you can still purchase movies in the much greater HDX format.
