Another big boost for Blu-ray
It’s getting clearer every month that Blu-ray is indeed the winning high definition format in the huge war of formats. Best Buy (America’s largest consumer electronics chain), and Netflix (large DVD rental company) have both decided to back Blu-ray. Now, in the case of Best Buy, it does not mean they will not be selling HD-DVD discs, but rather that Blu-ray will have a much more prominent place in their shops. Netflix will switch over to Blu-ray completely, saying it makes life easier for its customers. And let’s be honest, easier for themselves as well. Netflix’s main rival, Blockbuster, already decided in June 2007 to go with Blu-ray exclusively.
The backers of the Blu-ray high definition DVD system have received a twin boost in their ongoing format war with HD DVD.
Best Buy - the US’s largest consumer electronics chain - has announced it is to recommend that its customers choose Sony’s Blu-ray format.
