Netflix Goes Exclusively Blu-ray
Netflix Inc., the online movie rental company, said Monday it is switching exclusively to the Blu-ray format for high-definition DVDs, following four major movie studios in selecting the Sony technology over one pushed by Toshiba Corp.
“From the Netflix perspective, focusing on one format will enable us to create the best experience for subscribers,” the company said, adding that not many customers order high-def DVDs.
Many consumers have held off on buying a high-def DVD player until the dominant format is decided. - AP
