From Arstecnica:

Today, HD DVD was dealt a couple of big body blows: Netflix announced that it would stop renting movies in the HD DVD format and Best Buy has decided to exclusively recommend Blu-ray players to consumers.

NetFlix and BestBuy?

As much as I still wish HD will dig out of what it’s in, I’m afraid that, at least for entertainment purposes, this battle is just about over. Not much left except the sad singin’ and deep diggin’ for HD-DVD I’m a afraid.

Could thing I skipped this bandwagon. Would have hated to get stuck with the 21st century version of a BetaMax or VideoDisc player.
