Roku is now available from Walmart (link)
This is HUGE for Roku because being in Walmart means that you have the potential of selling SO many more products than you normally would.
The Online TV plot thickens though! Seeing as how Walmart “OWNS” Vudu, it would naturally make sense for the Roku to offer a “Vudu” channel. Well, that might be in the works.
The above device is just a photoshopped mock up but there’s no way Walmart would let the Roku into its stores unless they were either getting them for a HUGE discount or they plan to “Upsell” everybody who buys one by selling and renting them Vudu movies.
Should Redbox and Netflix worry?
