Sony wins another battle in the HD format war

Entertainment

Chalk up another victory for Sony's Blu-Ray format. Officials for the Netflix DVD-by-mail service announced they will stop offering Toshiba's competing high-definition format, called HD-DVD. Netflix had been stocking both formats, but the company says this battle appears to be over, since four of the six major movie studios are going with Blu-Ray. And the format wars may soon be moot, anyway -- Netflix subscribers can now download high-def movies directly to their computer hard drives.
