So. I’m a little surprised that if Walmart has had this plan in the works for some time, why did they sell off Vudu? Why not leverage that somehow into a service included with Walmart Plus, if not only to include just the Vudu free-with-ads stuff initially. Just rebrand it into Walmart Plus.. Wouldn’t this have helped to compete with Prime more? Then they could include the paid Vudu stuff just as video results-to-purchase inside of Walmart.com, much like Amazon does, to drive more users and purchases of the Vudu paid content, but basically all rebranded to Walmart Video content inside of Walmart.

They must have explored this idea yeah? How could they not have? I guess that Vudu was just too valuable for cash and was a good time to sell?
