As some of you may already know, 2009 marks the Outlaw's tenth anniversary! We're planning lots of specials throughout the year to mark the occasion, and today we're starting the celebration off with something very special!

The core of our business has always been, and will remain, products that we develop for sale exclusively under our own brand. However, we occasionally come across something that we know will interest you, but which is a bit too much off the track for us to develop ourselves, like the Velodyne SMS-1. Whenever we can provide these types of products to you at value pricing in combination with our own gear, we will continue to add them to our portfolio.

So hold on to your cowboy hats Outlaws, because we have one of those very special products to kick off our anniversary celebration.

Introducing Vudu XL

Imagine having access to your very own video rental store where every title in your catalog is ALWAYS in stock. Now expand that selection to include movies in high definition and Dolby Digital playback. For the average home theater enthusiast that would be a dream come true!

There are many products and services available today that attempt to do that by delivering movies and other types of content electronically, without the need to go to the video store or wait for a red and white envelope to arrive in the mail. The concept is great, but the interfaces are often less than perfect, and sometimes you have to order the movie from your computer before you can see it on your system. However, none of the products available to date has been quite good enough to put in our own homes, or to offer to our fellow Outlaws.

That is, until we spent some time with Vudu. If you love movies and enjoy having new or different titles available whenever you want them, this is a product that, once you have it in your system, you will wonder how you lived without it. In our opinion, it has the best interface of any content-delivery product on the market and is paired with one of the easiest to use and most comfortable remotes we've ever used.

Vudu offers an incredibly wide range of programming, from the latest hit movies to old classics.* To make a good thing even better, they have recently added access to YouTube and a wide range of other content services, including news programs from ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC, sports programming from ESPN and much more.*

Vudu is also the only electronic program delivery service currently offering movie rentals in 1080/24p. On the audio side, Vudu doesn't scrimp, as some of the other movie services do, when it comes to number of channels. Vudu uses Dolby Digital Plus for transmission and features a Dolby Digital 5.1 output via HDMI or S/P-DIF (optical or coax).

The First Celebration

We're telling you this because as part of our Tenth Anniversary celebration, Outlaw Audio has become the exclusive authorized Internet retailer for the Vudu XL, the latest and greatest product from this innovative company. Although it is the same physical size as the standard Vudu you may have seen at "big box" retail stores, it differs in a number of important areas. First, and most importantly, it has an incredible one-terabyte internal hard drive, four times the size of the drive in the standard Vudu box. This gives you the capacity to store up to 500 full-length SD movies and assures that your unit will have room to store content for additional services, should they become available in the future.

The Vudu XL also differs from the standard Vudu box by offering the capability to simultaneously output 1080i or 720p video over analog component outputs along with the standard HDMI output. This is normally a $100+ option, but all Vudu XL units purchased through Outlaw will be equipped with the XLS-1 software that makes this possible at no extra charge. In addition, the Vudu XL includes the capability to operate with IP-based control systems and many programmable IR remote controls, such as those from Pronto and Universal Remote.

The retail price of the Vudu XL is $999, but when you purchase it from Outlaw in combination with one of our processors or amplifiers, you get the package at considerable savings**.

But if this isn't enough, between now and June 30, 2009, a special Outlaw-only offer lets you double your money by buying a $1,000 account credit for purchases of Vudu content for only $500. This credit has no expiration date and provides you instant access to Vudu's growing library of more than 13,000 titles (over 1,300 of them in HD!) at what amounts to half-price purchases or rentals of the latest movies and TV shows. Just think what this type of instant*** access to pay-per-view content would cost you with any other service or device, and you will quickly see the tremendous value.

The Vudu XL set top is covered by our 30-day in-home audition policy, so you can try this incredible product in your own home theater. However, the half-price content credit package is non-refundable once you purchase it. Again, this special price is available only if you purchase a Vudu XL through Outlaw Audio. Due to our special arrangement with Vudu, existing Vudu owners are not eligible.

The combination pricing and promotional movie/content package with this unique product is only the start of great things to come from the Outlaws as part of our anniversary celebration. We have a number of new Outlaw-exclusive products in the pipeline for introduction throughout the year, and there will be more special partnership promotions.

We'll be keeping you informed as things move closer, but don't forget, particularly during our Tenth Anniversary year, "The best values in Home Theater are just a mouse click away".

Best Regards,
The Outlaws
