Blockbuster customers prefer Blu-Ray over HD DVD media
U.S. video rental chain Blockbuster has said in a statement that their customers tend to prefer Blu-Ray based media over HD DVD.
Blockbuster added that they are now going to expand their inventory of these high definition media discs to a total of 1,700 stores up from 250.
This is disappointing news for Toshiba and the HD DVD camp which is competing against the Blu-Ray group led by Sony to make their own format the next generation standard.
Blockbuster however said that they would continue to offer both Blu-ray and rival HD-DVD titles through its online rental service.
Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia spoke about this Blockbuster statement: “If the hi-def DVD format indeed gets settled in Blu-Ray’s favor, it will likely lift sales of the Playstation 3.”
