Laptop Magazine: Vudu Review
- 3 1/2 Stars - Discusses the remote and download features..."Unlike competing services like Amazon Unbox, which require you to download a movie to your TiVo before watching, Vudu leverages the bandwidth of all of the Vudu boxes currently online. This sort of P2P technology on steroids ensures that you'll have the first few seconds of any given title already stored on your box' 250GB hard drive. That's enough room for more than 100 hours of owned movies, which cost anywhere from $4.99 to $19.99 (depending on the release date)."

- Discusses the setup and hardwre of the Vudu..."The Vudu box contains a 250GB hard disk drive—enough to store approximately 100 hours of movies.
