Netflix to Support HD-DVD at Launch
Netflix announced it will rent HD-DVD and Blu-ray movies at launch starting in late March 2006. Now if only the HD-DVD players were at reasonable prices.
“High-definition DVD is the next wave of excitement in home entertainment and we'll be there at its inception,” said Netflix Chairman and CEO Reed Hastings. “With far sharper images, better sound and more features, we expect high-def will greatly enhance DVD's consumer appeal and extend its popularity over the next decade or more.”
