Walmart to buy digital movie provider

February 23, 2010

The world's largest retailer announced yesterday that it will buy broadband entertainment provider Vudu.

The deal gives Walmart the ability to sell movies directly to consumers who have broadband internet access and own an internet ready tv or blu ray player.

Walmart's most recent attempt at offering movie downloads ended in 2007 after less than a year.
