HD DVD talks out about Netflix and Best Buy
After recent announcements that Best Buy had snuffed HD DVD and that Netflix would be dropping all stock of HD DVD, the HD DVD Promotional Group took time to make a statement about the future of the format and the recent decisions.
Clearly, the Group was upset over the recent losses (which seem to be mounting) and offered only this as a response.
“We have long held the belief that HD DVD is the best format for consumers based on quality and value, and with more than 1 million HD DVD players on the market, it’s unfortunate to see Netflix make the decision to only stock Blu-ray titles going forward. While the Best Buy announcement says they will recommend Blu-ray, at least they will continue to carry HD DVD and offer consumers a choice at retail.
The response, which is rather tame compared to past statements could show that the Group is finally breaking down, or even accepting defeat. Price cuts have become standard practice for Toshiba HD DVD players but disc sales are still lagging and consumers are eagerly expecting and end to the format war.
