Vudu opens up UltraViolet sharing with up to 5 friends with 3 simultaneous streams at Once

The digital movie and TV show service from Wal-Mart, Vudu, has recently announced that you can now share your collection of titles with up to 5 friends. It is as simple as making a few clicks, adding their email address and sharing.

Vudu Sharing
There are a few small, and annoying, downsides. The friends you share with have to have a Vudu account of their own. not really a huge deal, but you should make sure you are inviting them to share through their Vudu email and not a different email address. Secondly, while you can share to 5, only 3 streams can be rolling at one time.  Again, only a huge deal if you rely on Vudu heavily and the five that you invite spend more time watching your collection than you do. Vudu says the sharing is free and that there is no limit to the number of movies or shows your shared friends can watch. Heck, they even let them download them too, that would free up a stream.

This is a pretty big deal really. Especially with Vudu being on multiple platforms and having Chromecast support. I suppose I need to start looking for friends with a large Vudu collection.
