HD DVD Group respond to latest blow

Refusing to wave the white flag of surrender, the HD-DVD group has issued a statement following Netflix’s decision to ditch HD-DVDs as well as Best Buy’s recommendation of Blu-Ray to its customers.

“We have long held the belief that HD DVD is the best format for consumers based on quality and value, and with more than 1 million HD DVD players on the market, it’s unfortunate to see Netflix make the decision to only stock Blu-ray titles going forward. While the Best Buy announcement says they will recommend Blu-ray, at least they will continue to carry HD DVD and offer consumers a choice at retail.”

Hardly a convincing reposte, but not a lot else they can say really.
