Netflix to Go Blu-ray Exclusive
In what may be the final nail (among many final nails) in HD-DVD's coffin, rent-by-mail juggernaut Netflix has just announced that it will be going with Blu-ray as its hi-def movie format of choice (Blockbuster recently made the same decision). The announcement comes in the wake of several major studios finally jumping ship to support Sony's format. all of which tells us one essential truth: HD-DVD is dead and buried.
The worst part? Just think about the countless money, man-hours, and environmental pile-up (not to mention time wasted on forums) it'll have chewed by the time the format finally lays to rest.
Damn you, capitalism.

Poor hd-dvd but I don't think this is the final nail. I see hd-dvd being buried when Microsoft puts a blu-ray drive in it's 360.
I feel sorry for the people that invested their hard earned money into the format.
Go blu! :D

The End is near. Do not let Sony monopolize the HD era! JUDGEMENT DAY is just that much closer!
