The war against HD DVD continues

HD DVD, the modern-day Beta just can't get a break. Netflix has announced they will discontinue carrying the format, and will have phased it out completely by year's end.

The HD DVD Group always sees the silver lining in every cloud of a shitstorm. They issued this sticks-and-stones statement:
We have long held the belief that HD DVD is the best format for consumers based on quality and value, and with more than 1 million HD DVD players on the market, it's unfortunate to see Netflix make the decision to only stock Blu-ray titles going forward. While the Best Buy announcement says they will recommend Blu-ray, at least they will continue to carry HD DVD and offer consumers a choice at retail.
