Netflix chooses Blu-ray, phasing out HD-DVD
Getting my que in order for the weekend and decided to check out their press releases. Looks like today they announced that they are going to phase out HD-DVD's and go with the blu-ray format.
Looks like another shot in the heart for toshiba. I wish this whole thing would play out and be done with already. BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With the industry now having picked a winner in the face-off between the two competing high- definition DVD formats, Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX), the world's largest online movie rental service, today said that it will move toward stocking high-def DVDs exclusively in the Blu-ray format. Citing the decision by four of the six major movie studios to publish high-def DVD titles only in the Sony-developed Blu-ray format, Netflix said that as of now it will purchase only Blu-ray discs and will phase out by roughly year's end the alternative high-def format, HD DVD, developed by Toshiba.

I feel bad for my neighbor that just went out and spent a couple hundred bucks on an HD-DVD player. Whats worse is I talked him into using netflix because they rented HD-DVD.
