Masseflugten fra HD-DVD synes at fortsætte. I går meddelte både Best Buy & Netflix, at de ikke længere ville formidle HD-DVD til deres brugere. Begge firmaer siger ganske klart, og uden omsvøb, at der nu er fundet en vinder i “formatkrigen” og de for fremtiden udelukkende vil fokusere på Blu-Ray. Vi kan nu bare afvente de sidste krampetrækninger fra Toshiba, som nok må indse at slaget definitivt er tabt.
“The prolonged period of competition between two formats has prevented clear communication to the consumer regarding the richness of the high-def experience versus standard definition,” commented chief content officer Ted Sarandos.
“We’re now at the point where the industry can pursue the migration to a single format, bring clarity to the consumer and accelerate the adoption of high-def.
“Going forward, we expect that all of the studios will publish in the Blu-ray format and that the price points of high-def DVD players will come down significantly. These factors could well lead to another decade of disc-based movie watching as the consumer’s preferred means,” he said.
