Video Download Battle Royal: Xbox 360 vs Vudu vs AppleTV
We here at Networking Audio Video have always been about finding the best way to stream media around your house. We love the idea that you can load all of your Videos, Pictures and Music onto a server and play them anywhere in your house. While we always will love the idea of owning content we can't help but see the writing on the wall and realize that renting content or subscribing to content on the web is probably going to be the next step for many people. Devices like the
Vudu haven't really interested us much since they only allow you to view/buy content that they have on their servers. Well we realize that we may have to get with the times and accept that content in the cloud is probably going to be the media streaming choice of the future.
The god people over at gizmodo have done a nice round up of 3 of the best known devices that allow you to rent/buy content from the web: the
Xbox 360, the Vudu and the
AppleTV. They end up leaning towards the
Vudu as the overall winner, but they had a lot of good points as to why the Xbox 360 and
AppleTV should be considered right up there with them. They did a fairly thorough review of the three units and we think it seems like a great resource for anyone trying to figure out which device is best suited for them. You can check out their review
here.
We would love to hear any of your feedback or comments on their findings. We haven't had first hand experience with the Vudu yet so we don't know what that service is like. Anyone want to give us their impressions?
