I had four older movies in my Netflix queue waiting for blu-ray releases. I was notified today that they were converted to DVD formats. Which I assume means that any plan to release these movies in blu-ray format has been killed.
* Sixteen Candles
* Taxi Driver
* The Breakfast Club
* Zathura
I also noticed that the yet to be released movie Bandslam is not going to be released in blu-ray. It too was changed to DVD format.
I really love blu-ray movies. Given the choice between DVD and blu-ray I’ll always choose blu-ray. Given the choice between DVD now and waiting for blu-ray, I’ll wait. I hope the format doesn’t die, but it’s looking like it might.
