VUDU box thrown in with select Sharp AQUOS LCD TVs

by Darren Murph, posted Dec 20th 2007 at 9:02AM

While Sony's effectively giving away BDP-S300s when you pick up a BRAVIA HDTV from SonyStyle, Sharp is hoping to up its holiday sales figures by bundling in a VUDU set-top-box. Starting now, consumers who pick up a select AQUOS LCD TV that's 42-inches or larger (trust us, there's quite a few choices) can also expect to receive a $399 VUDU box and a $50 movie credit to boot. Off hand, we don't see a definitive expiration date for the offer, but considering that it's billed as a "holiday" promotion (and only available directly through these two, sadly), we wouldn't sleep on this too long if you're remotely interested.

Unfortunately, it looks like you have to buy the Sharp LCD through VUDU's site, and everything there is at full MSRP.

This stinks - we bought my father one of the qualifying TVs for Christmas, and I was hoping I could get this for me!

Just click the "Click Here To Shop" button on the right. It'll include the VUDU with select TVs, as you'll see mentioned in the store.

Dear VUDU Beta Applicant,

VUDU is currently recruiting people to join our evangelist program.

We believe VUDU has the opportunity to transform the way we enjoy
movies at home-in other words, to change the world. Why is this important?
Because today people are not watching what they want to watch-they're
watching what's available to watch. The truth is we deserve an on-demand
experience.

To learn more about VUDU, click here: http://www.vudu.com/
We expect evangelists to:

* Educate others about the benefits of getting movies delivered over
the Internet and directly to the TV.
* Respond to third-party blog postings.
* Participate in online surveys and help us shape the product's
evolution.
* Present the product to friends and acquaintances by hosting movie
parties.
* Be our eyes and ears in the marketplace.

If you qualify, we're prepared to offer you a VUDU box for $99 (regular
retail price is $399). In addition, we'll credit your account with $99
worth of movie credits.

We have a limited number of units available for evangelists, so I ask
that you respond within four days of receiving this invitation. To
confirm your interest, please visit:

http://www.vudu.com/aboutus_evangelists.html.

You will be asked to fill out a short survey, to see if you qualify for
the program. If you have any questions, please email
evangelist@vudu.com. This e-mail does not guarantee acceptance into the
evangelist program.

We are excited about the possibility of your joining our customer
advocacy team.

Regards,

Patrick Cosson
VP, Marketing
VUDU, Inc.

This is a VUDU promotion in hand with Sharp, not a Sharp promotion.
