Vudu Testing Blu-ray Quality 'HDX' Flicks

Apparently some Vudu beta testers are being asked to check out new HD downloads that are supposed to match Blu-ray quality. These new HDX flicks are so data heavy, you've gotta wait two to three hours just for the flick to start. This actually jibes with what we heard a few months ago--that Vudu was looking at offering two tiers of HD movies, though there's no guarantee that this is anything more than market research. That's a long time to wait for a quality (and likely, price) bump that your average Joe probably wouldn't be able to tell distinguish from their standard HD stuff.

HDX is now official, and there is no price bump. HD and HDX rentals are the same price, $3.99, $4.99, or $5.99. With the addition of now being able to order from the web, you can pick your HDX movie while at work, and it will be totally downloaded when you get home.
