Netflix to stop carrying HD-DVD

Digg - Netflix picks Blu-ray, good luck renting an HD DVD soon

In what can only be classified as yet another crushing blow to the embattled HD DVD camp, rent-by-mail giant Netflix has just announced its intention to only stock Blu-ray titles in the future...

Not too happy about their decision!

I guess we can now have this in all three forums.

Some people only visit one forum.

I subscribed to Netflix solely for HD-DVD, when it is dead, so is my Netflix account.

Stand by for a bunch of "I told you so" gloating posts from you can guess the names.

As an aside, I wonder how the studios feel about these rental deals anyway. Wouldn't they rather sell the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs at retail than see them rented via mail?

If this were a solo effort by NetFlix, it would not be such a big deal. However, when coupled with the WB defection and the other changes towards BD, it seems to be just another in a long line of change to one side.

One side is good, however gloating and trolling about it is not!
