Rumors from the VUDU camp show that the self-proclaimed "video store in a box" wishes to broadcast movies that will rival Blu-ray’s quality. Of course these exact movies aren’t Blu-ray, but are expected to be high-definition or something close to HD. The only downfall we notice now is that starting the movie will take two to three hours…
The rumors came out after Engadget reported that they believe that a select group of VUDU-testers are currently using the so-called HDX movies. Of course there’s no guarantee that the product will be introduced to the masses, since VUDU will have to decide wether they believe people would be willing to wait that amount of time for a high-def movie to start.
So, maybe just to support the decision makers at VUDU… Would you be willing to wait two to three hours to watch HD content on demand?

A typical Bluray is 30-40GB. The typical Internet connection available today would require waiting much more than 2 hours.
