VUDU Video On-demand
Overview of Video on Demand by VUDU
Video on Demand by VUDU is a service that allows you to watch videos you want - including new releases - in high definition, with no monthly fees and no late fees. If it is out on DVD, chances are you can watch it today on VUDU. Because the movies are streamed to your computer from VUDU's servers, you never have to worry about storing large video files. Your videos are available wherever you have internet access.
Use dailysavesonline.com to browse and rent or buy the movies you want, and then watch them on your computer or on your TV (requires an internet connection and a VUDU-enabled HDTV, Blu-ray player, or a Sony PS3™).
Renting and Buying Options
Most videos are available to rent or to buy.
Renting—Video rental periods are for a set period of time (typically 24, 48, or 72 hours), as indicated at the time of purchase. The rental period begins when you first start watching the video. Rentals expire after a period of time, typically 30 days, whether you have watched them or not.
Buying—When you buy content from VUDU, you will typically be able to view it on your VUDU Device for as long as you are able to access the VUDU service.
These are general statements concerning VUDU's standard terms for renting and purchasing content and do not apply to each and every item of content available through the VUDU service. Due to licensing restrictions, these terms may vary depending on the content you have selected. For example, sometimes newly released movies may become unavailable for viewing for an unspecified period of time due to licensing restrictions. VUDU makes every effort to notify you about unique terms and conditions that apply to certain content prior to your purchase or rental of that content. It is your obligation to review any additional restrictions or conditions related to content you intend to purchase or rent.

Once a rental expires, it is automatically removed from your library.

For videos that are not yet released and coming soon or if you are interested in a video but not ready to rent or buy it, you can add it to your VUDU Wishlist.
