There, I said it. It had to be said. Netflix today announced they are Blu-ray only - which is a nasty blow considering Warner announced early last month they were Blu-ray only also. Best Buy also stated recently they will suggest Blu-ray has their preferred HD choice. It's starting to snow ball and I think soon you'll see Paramount switch sides leaving Universal a hold out - and that won't last long. Blockbuster also rents Blu-ray exclusively also - so consumers will have tough times renting HD-DVDs.
Besides, Steven Spielberg supports blu-ray and that's already good enough for me. I will be getting my PS3 this weekend. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Feb 19, 2008 - 1:26 PM -------------------- |

mwah ha ha ha ha!
I knew you'd all join us in the end. In Europe it's predicted there will be more PS3's than 360's by late summer. Already are in many countries. Pretty quick takeover i think. It's cost Sony a LOT but it looks like it's worked. -------------------- |

Yeah we have our own series with Sigourney Weaver.
Remember when that crazy bird did the dancing? My g/f couldn't stop laughing when she saw that. There is Blue Planet also but I don't think it's available in HD yet. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Feb 11, 2008 - 6:42 PM -------------------- |
