EngadgetHD wasn't skeptical when Blockbuster spewed unverified propaganda that claimed BD out-rented HD 3-to-1 in stores. Keep in mind, these were Blockbuster stores that weren't updating their HDDVD library. There have been many documented cases of Blockbuster stores having only the early release HDDVD movies, while stocking brand new BD's.
Here comes Netflix that rents online; Free from the issues of having a better selection of movies on either BD or HD; Free from the effect of gamers coming into stores to pick up PS3 games and just picking up BD movies for the heck of it.
So Netflix comes in with data that "SHOULD" be a lot more reliable than Blockbuster's in-store date. And Engadget is "Skeptical". Seriously guys...seriously.
yeah, pretty much. I stepped into one of the Blockbusters that was doing a test run of both HD DVD and Blu-ray and they had virtually no HD DVDs, but had a ton of Blu-rays. Of course I didn't rent any HD DVD movies because there was nothing to rent. Had they actually had a good HD DVD selection I definitely would have rented a couple of HD DVDs.
