Netflix is lame, HD DVD is dead I guess
Got an email from Netflix that they will be going exclusively with Blu Ray.

Guess I was wrong about the 2 formats coexisting.

Now what will I do with this HD DVD player I got for Christmas? Sell it on eBay as a collector's item?

put it in the closet with your betamax!

I thought HD would win out over blu ray, but alas it seems to have turned out the other way. I haven't committed to a new player for either format yet, but I guess it'll be blu ray when I do?

Can u still play "old skool" dvds on a blu ray player? or are you SOL?

Normal DVDs play on it... in fact, it does a really good job of upconverting them. Guess that's reason enough to leave it hooked up for now.
