Walmart tried to get into the streaming media market with its Vudu service as well as the streaming stick market with the Vudu Spark and, while the success of the two is debatable, the company is continuing to expand these products. Walmart has now added a section to Vudu that is dedicated soley to its HDMI streaming stick.
Remember Walmart’s very own HDMI streaming stick, which I spotted in the FFC’s online database two months ago? Turns out Walmart already started selling it for just $24.95, and is now getting ready to make it more widely available. Walmart’s Vudu video streaming service just added a dedicated section for the Vudu Spark, as the streaming stick is called, to its website that includes lots of details about the device. Vudu’s website states that the is “available only at Walmart.com and select Walmart locations.” I wasn’t able to find it on Walmart’s website just yet, but I would expect it to make an appearance shortly. A Walmart spokesperson told me that the company actually started selling it “in about 2400 Walmart stores” last month already.
