, Nov 22nd 2010 Discuss [0]

Oh my goodness! Vudu is back in a big way, yes? This most recent resurgence covers Panasonic's DMP-BDT350 (with full HD 3D), DMP-BDT300 (with full HD 3D), DMP-BDT100 (with full HD 3D), DMP-BD85, DMP-BD65, and DMP-B500 (the portable Blu-ray disc player). Starting November 24th, all of these devices will get complete access to the Vudu library - that is 4,000+ 1080p movies, all of them streaming, all of them promising to be totally frigging amazing. This system will work something like RedBox, with each title being available for $2 for a two-night rental. Firmware updates are on the way. Read The Full Story

While we'll take the details where we can get them, when we're dealing with a camera of this capacity, we wish we could see what we might have to start saving up to. But, if you want to tease yourself, head on after the break to learn the details about this new camcorder. Read The Full Story
