Looks like Blu-ray is beginning to honestly win the format war. Now Blockbuster is choosing sides and the company seems to favor Blu-ray over HD DVD.
Blockbuster just announced it would begin carrying more high-def discs in 1700 stores by mid-July. According to reports, Blockbuster is saying that Blu-ray is “significantly outpacing HD DVD rentals”, which could possibly lead to the pulling of HD DVDs off its shelves. For now though, Blockbuster online rental subscribers can still get their fix of both Blu-ray and HD DVD.
HD-DVD seriously needs to pull out some big guns!!!
Of course all of this war stuff could hit a snag if the market turns to downloaded media. Which really is the future of movies.

Well, if any discs start rotting, Blockbuster'll know. It's nice to be able to wait for the war to end before buying.
True... I think that the future will be downloading content to your AppleTV or Xbox 360. Media will be kept on DVR type of equipment.
