11 February 2008 @ 12:55Another nail in the HD DVD coffin

From today’s Netflix press release:

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.

This is a big win for Blu-ray, or a big loss for HD DVD (depending on how you want to look at it).
