[OPLINLIST] Blu-Ray and Hi-Def

[Chad Neeper (list)]

To the best of my knowledge, none of the libraries I work with are 
providing either Blu-Ray or HD-DVD yet, either. I imagine for the same 
reasons.

 From my own casual observations, it looks like Blu-Ray might be edging 
out HD-DVD. I just saw another news blurb on the issue in this morning's 
BBC news feed. Best Buy has announced it is going to promote Blu-ray 
over HD-DVD, even though it will be carrying both formats for now. 
Netflix also just announced it would be phasing out its HD DVD stock and 
exclusively offer Blu-ray.
