Even in the throes of deluded madness, it’s very hard to see how anyone paying attention to technology and the format war would be unconvinced that Blu-ray is the winner. Rental service Netflix is now jumping on Sony’s bandwagon. They announced today that they’ll be favoring Blu-ray in their movie collection. They won’t be tossing out the HD-DVDs they already have available, but they won’t be acquiring any new ones. They will eventually be dropping HD-DVD availability altogether, as they simply plan to continue to offer their current library until the discs reach the end of their life through wear, damage or loss.

2Because although the underdog is always loved in the mind of the public, in terms of business you generally bow to the most popular. Besides, there’s always the possibility that they’re getting something from Sony because of this little deal.

3whatever toshiba had a good product and they only go with sony because they are trendier, but sony is good when you try and get a position in search engines and you have lot of comp you can always shorten the title of the products so you get some traffic

5Toshiba had a good product, but so did sony. The format war didn’t really have anything to do with superior products as much as it did who could get their product marketed the best.
