In what some are calling the final, final nail in the coffin for the HD DVD camp, Netflix announced today that it would be exclusively stocking the Blu-ray HD format in response to recent decisions by four of the six major movie studios to do the same.
They’re going to continue renting the discs they already own until the shelf life expires (usually about a year). After that, it’s Blu-ray only.
If you own an HD DVD player and you missed out on the Best Buy take-back offer last month, don’t worry. We’re sure that $800 box will feel right at home in the top of your closet next to all those CDs.

Whew! Glad I made the switch to Blu-Ray last month.

I only watch Red-Ray.

Looks like Best Buy’s made their decision as well.

Let’s be perfectly honest about this for a second. Until Wal-Mart chooses Blu-Ray, it’s not news. Shit, they just did.
