The movie rental company said Monday that consumers and movie studios have clearly chosen Blu-ray over HD-DVD.
Ted Sarandos, chief content officer for Netflix, said in a statement:
“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.”
Netflix also said Blu-ray has been more popular than HD-DVD among its customers.
Netflix won’t be buying any new HD-DVD titles, but will continue to rent out its current stock of HD-DVD discs “until the discs’ natural life cycle takes them out of circulation in the coming months.”
