More nails into HD-DVD coffin


Netflix and Best Buy announced that they will not be carrying HD-DVD titles going forward, only Blue-Ray. While current inventory will remain for a while, nothing new will be added. This is another good news for consumers (well maybe not those who bought HD-DVD player) in HD format war. One format, means less confusion, more devices and better prices. Looks like Amazon is also liquidating it's HD-DVD players and movies, I've seen ongoing sales for 50% off. Microsoft also just announced slashing of the prices for HD-DVD drive for XBox 360. I wouldn't buy it if I were you ;) It is very unlikely now that HD-DVD will make a glorious come back. I'd be shocked if it did.
