Netflix going Blu


I just got a notice from Netflix saying that they are going Blu and discontinuing HD. Another nail in the coffin for HD, not saying it's over, but this will make it a lot more difficult for them.

Wonder why? Did they say? Aren't Blu discs subject to scratch damage more so than HD? Aren't there more HD players sold in the US than Blu?
I am bummed. I was totally in the Blu-Ray camp until I got an HD-DVD (A3) and a BD-P1000; the first works really good and the other has been nothing but trouble!
Bummer.....I have the top of the line Toshiba HD dvd machine and it absolutely kicks ass....an incredible machine. I don't buy dvd's, I only rent from Netflix and they've just abandoned me in the hi-def arena.

Well...I guess I gotta go buy a PS3

I will continue to use my Toshiba for standard def...it upconverts to a beautiful picture.
The nail in the coffin, in my opinion, for HD-DVD is the Playstation 3(which is a great blu ray player). Now that Warner has jumped ship it's only a matter of time. Probabaly a year from now.

It doesn't matter to me though. I have both and the top of the line Toshiba does a much better job of upconverting standard def.

On another front Microsoft made a brilliant move by not building the HD-DVD player into there machine. They are circumventing the whole war by allowing XBOX 360 owners the ability to download hi def movies right to their hard drives.
