Vudu unveils “99 for 99″ channel along with 99-cent movie renewals

Vudu seems to have picked a strange time to launch a “summer blockbuster special” however there seems to be no mention of an end-date either so we can only hope it remains available.

Their latest offering seems to be a step in the right direction and includes 99-cent movie renewals on standard definition movies, and $1.99 extensions for high definition movies. Users will be able to re-rent the movies for the discounted price within 7 days of beginning the movie, which should help those who sat down and started to watch only to have something come up and pull them away.

In addition Vudu will also begin their “99 for 99″ channel which will include 99 movies that users can rent for just 99-cents. These titles will be featured on a rotating basis and are chosen from their editorial team.

The movie rental pricing for the regular catalog remains the same at $4 for a standard definition title and $6 for a high definition title.
