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.

Yep.

Pretty much game over

better reason for me to get a ps3.

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.

Fun tidbit: the last Betamax player was produced in...







2002.

Can't wait for Jurassic Park on Blu-ray.

i'm in the middle of watching the BBC 'Planet Earth' boxset on Blu-ray.

It's amazing!

I think you can get it over there, everyone should own this set

x2 - have it, love it.

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.

You spend too much time on engadget.

Better reason for me to join the PS3 crowd, blu ray ftw

i Just got my 42inch tv with Ps3 and home theater last week for my room.........lets just say i stay in more often! lol

Walmart will be pulling HD-DVD in June.

I seen blu-ray a mile away. Sony is pushing it. Back in the day, remember Betamax? Was actually better than VHS. The reason it went out of "style" was because Sony (money from other products), went and made deals with all the movie companys and such. I don't have a problem with it, though I see little improvement with all this "new" technology, when already dvds were being recorded in HD. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Nothing wrong with standard dvd. Soon we are going to believe our quality looks so good, when it is really going to look like it was recorded on an expensive camcorder (which trust me, is not a good thing). Try watching Transformers on the best quality tv and in blu-ray that you can find. Tell me that the back lighting is all jacked up on the robots vs the rest of the "regular" stuff. Tell me you don't see large pores from the actresses you didn't notice before. Perhaps zits. That's my only argument on this Blu-ray. Anyways, I just had a feeling that is the direction it was going to go with my prior knowledge of the Betamax vs VHS (which was seriously a lower quality).

That is what makes it so amazing u see there pores u see things u normally wouldnt and it just takes it 2 that next level...2 me it makes everything a lil more real...I am happy with my hdtv and ps3...Now when i watch tv on another tv I really see the difference and it makes me love my tv that much more.

i hope they release transformers on bluray now

Might be all looking good and **** but...they won't see me spend 40$ for a movie anytime soon..that's retarded!
