News of this is all over the web, but as a PA for my friends since I’ve actually had two IM conversations about this in the past week: if you’ve been holding off on buying a Hi Def DVD machine because of the format war, it’s officially and finally over. The writing was on the wall after the studio announcements at this year’s CES, but yesterday’s Netflix announcement about supporting only Blu Ray for rentals going forward is the deal sealer. Best Buy’s announcement is just icing on the cake. Don’t be tempted by the bargain basement prices you’ll find on HDDVD players and movies over the next couple of months. Retailers are clearing out stock. Meanwhile if you’re interested in jumping in now, get a PS3 - it’s actually a better Blu Ray player than almost any other device on the market, and it’s actually cheaper than many of them.
