I too have been considering some sort of media storage.
I do think that the deal that the Outlaws are presenting is a great deal. Audio stores in my area who sell the VUDU do not offer any side dishes with the purchase.
However my draw-back from the VUDU then and now is the rental fees for movies. It seems that they are a little steep. $5.99? Purchase of a movie as high as $24.00. Ouch!

I currently have a imac from Apple and was thinking about buying a couple of external hardrives. One for music and movies.
I have a good friend who is a computer geek who would hook it up and after downloading movies and music on the imac I will be able to view them on my 100" diagonal screen via wireless.
Of course I already have the main component, the imac.
I get my rentals from Blockbusters. $32.00 a month unlimited rentals @ two movies a rental.

My cost should amount to no more than $500.00 for the setup. I am not sure about the logistics but I am seriously considering the above idea.

Unless for some reason I am unable to do the above why VUDU?
The cost of the movies from VUDU is my turnoff.
