A Blockbuster decision
If you've been holding off on buying one of those next-generation DVD players, waiting to find out which format will win the war, there's news from the electronic industry's front lines this morning.
Blockbuster is expected to announce today that it will rent high-definition DVDs only in the Blu-ray format when it expands its offerings next month at 1450 rental outlets. That's a major setback for the rival HD-DVD format.
In explaining this decision, a Blockbuster executive tells The Associated Press consumers who've been renting limited releases so far have been choosing Blu-ray more than 70 percent of the time, a message he says the rental giant can't ignore.
