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.
