Netflix to Offer HD DVD and Blu-ray
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "NEWS" @ 02:00 PM
"Online movie rental service Netflix announced Tuesday it planned to support both new high-definition DVD formats upon their launch later this year, pledging to carry all initial HD DVD and Blu-ray movie titles and make them available for customers. The company acknowledges that initial adoption of the formats will be slow, but it believes high-definition formats will eventually replace standard DVDs as prices fall. Toshiba expects to launch its first HD DVD player in March, and Blu-ray players will likely follow in May."
I don't know if I have mentioned this before but I have been totally hooked onto Netflix for some time now. I am so happy to hear of this move on their part. I am glad to see a company like Netflix capitalizing and expanding to new video/disc formats without getting hung-up on trying to choose sides in the format war.
