BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Netflix says it is switchingexclusively to the Blu-ray format for high-definition DVDs.
The move comes after four major movie studios chose the Sony
technology over one pushed by Toshiba.
Toshiba and Sony have been vying to set the standard for
high-definition DVDs for several years, mostly because the winner
will get a boost in sales of DVD players needed to read the new
format.
Walt Disney, Sony Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and MGM have
endorsed Blu-ray. Paramount and Universal Studios publish their
high-definition DVDs in Toshiba's HD DVD format.
Netflix has stocked both formats since they became available in
2006, but says the decision of four of the six major studios to
issue films only in Blu-ray made it likely that the Sony format
will prevail.
