Netflix and Best Buy side with Blu-ray
Posted by admin on February 7, 2008 – 8:37 am
Netflix and Best Buy put two new nails in HD DVDs coffin this past week. Netflix has made the decision to only stock Blu-ray disks, and Best Buy have decided to start recommending customers purchase Blu-ray, although they will still stock HD DVD as well. HD DVD's response to the two companies was somewhat somber:
"We have long held the belief that HD DVD is the best format for consumers based on quality and value, and with more than 1 million HD DVD players on the market, it's unfortunate to see Netflix make the decision to only stock Blu-ray titles going forward. While the Best Buy announcement says they will recommend Blu-ray, at least they will continue to carry HD DVD and offer consumers a choice at retail."
