Yes they should get that updated since I would expect all the Panny 3D BD players to have it since I have the lowest end model with 3D.

Almost any BD player that does 3D and has the Vudu app will work, FYI.

I suppose the business model must be working for VUDU, but I'm also sure that Walmarts money is helping .. as long as these guys try to milk the max money, I just don't see how they can grow .. I will say, though, that I'm sure the "Rent Before Disk / Rent While Still at Theater" that is offered on some films appeals to a select group of folks .. I'm a patient and frugal person, so the advance availability has no appeal to me ..

WM would love nothing more than to corner the market on VOD and I am sure they would price lower if they could. That being said, if the studios really want to do away with physical media, that is all they would have to do is to allow Vudu, Amazon and others to rent at prices comparable to Redbox. If that happens, what would be the draw for physical media to the average consumer? Every movie ever made available to rent at $1-2 per viewing would stop most from ever buying a disc again. period.

Minus the major population areas and even in some of those regions there is either no high speed internet or the quality drops dramatically once a significant amount of people start accessing the internet, especially to stream games or movies.
