Vudu one step ahead of Blu-ray with Avatar

[Horhay]

What does the Vudu HDX version of Avatar have that the Blu-ray version doesn't? That's right, special features. Typically you don't get 'em with a digital download, but Vudu figured the release of Avatar is the perfect time to change that forever. We're not exactly sure what features will be available, but at free, they are priced just right. This is yet another sign that Hollywood is warming up to digital delivery -- the first sign was that digital download customers dont' have to wait another 28 days like Redbox and Netflix -- and Vudu also reminds us that if you want to stream Avatar in HD it is them or the Playstation as all the other streaming services will only offer the movie in SD -- we don't know about the Playstation service, but Vudu's HDX certainly qualifies as real HD. Another pictures of the Vudu interface after the jump.

Wtf?! So the bluray Avatar out today doesn't have any special features? Just the movie and that's it?

I never watch them anyways, I wish more movies would cut the price a few dollars and drop the extras.

Even if I was into extras though, this would not be enough to make me pick up a Hulu membership.

They did that for some dvd's. Have just the movie for $10 and then a special edition with the special features for $15-$17.

I'm with you on that. Screw the extras.
