 Blockbuster
will begin offering high definition videos next month, but will only be
stocking Blu-ray format titles, yet another setback for rival HD DVD.
Blockbuster added HD DVD and Blu-ray to its online video rental service
last year, but will only bring the latter format to retail store
locations. The company said that more than 70% of HD video
rentals online were Blu-ray movies...
It's unclear how much on an effect the move will have, since
Blockbuster has seen a steady decline in customers over the past
several years. Major setbacks have already hit HD DVD,
though, as the Toshiba-fronted format has yet to overtake Blu-ray sales
in a single month period.
HD DVD Promotional Group co-president Ken Graffeo told the Associated
Press, "I think trying to make a format decision using such a short
time period is really not measuring what the consumer is saying."
Titles like Casino Royale and the first two Pirates of the Caribbean
movies hit Blu-ray as exclusive titles and have been tremendous sellers
for the Sony format. HD DVD, meanwhile, has seen success with
premium box set features like the Planet Earth documentary series and
The Matrix trilogy. Blockbuster Online will continue to offer HD DVD
titles.
