Blu-ray players are getting more and more commonplace these days as prices start to drop and the adoption rate goes up, but it still isn’t good enough to be on par with DVD’s explosion when that format was introduced many years ago. After all, the jump to full High Definition from DVD isn’t that remarkable compared to what DVD did better compared to the regular Video CD format. Well, the elimination of the rival HD DVD format did go some way in Blu-ray’s case over the past year, but we could see non-physical media take over Blu-ray disc sales in the near future if more and more agreements such as this is introduced – VUDU is now offering owners of LG’s BD390 Network Blu-ray Player the option to settle for their on-demand HD (1080p, Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surround sound) movie service through the BD390’s menu user interface before September is over. To sweeten the deal, the VUDU service does not require a single cent in terms of monthly subscription fees – basically, it works on a pay-as-you-watch basis, regardless of whether you choose to rent or purchase the movie straight from the player without the need to fork out even more money for additional hardware.
