From now until March 22nd, Amazon is aggressively selling Blu-Ray discs at reduced sales prices.  There are over 350 discs in the marked-down selection, including some starting at $9.99.  Click here to take a look at the selection.

Like this is really a shock to mass consumers.  Netflix announces that they will no longer offer HD DVD rentals as of December 15th.  I can't believe that they are still carrying them this late after the end of the battle.  This announcement comes shortly after they have announced the discontinuation of selling previously viewed DVDs through their website. 

According to a report published today in HomeMediaMagazine.com today, Warner Home Video vice president of High-Definition Media, Dan Silverberg, suggested his studio, which currently supports both the HD DVD and Blu-ray formats would be reconsidering their strategies going forward as they relate to two HD disc formats.

The blockbuster hit from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures, TRANSFORMERS, has exploded into the high definition market, with North American sales exceeding 100,000 HD DVDs its first day of release, it was announced today by Paramount Home Entertainment. The title rocketed past previous releases to become the fastest and best-selling day one high definition title on a single format. The biggest original film of the year from director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg, in association with Hasbro, Inc., has sold over 190,000 HD DVDs in its first week making it the top-selling week one release on either high definition format as well as the best-selling HD DVD ever. Additionally, in the first week alone, over 20% of consumers have connected to the unique web-enabled features available on the TRANSFORMERS HD DVD.

Universal Studios Home Entertainment raised the bar on HD DVD's unique web-enabled experiences by unveiling an Internet infrastructure that allows it to take advantage of the guaranteed Internet connection in every HD DVD player and deliver compelling, title specific features. Heroes: Season 1 on HD DVD was the first title to take advantage of web-enabled capabilities, but with the forthcoming availability of Evan Almighty on HD DVD, Universal is setting the stage for new home entertainment experiences with web-enabled features such as the Download Center, U-Shop, and much more. Taking advantage of the infinite possibilities of web-enabled experiences, Universal is utilizing HD DVD to explore the promise of digitally distributed scenarios and infusing movie content with e-commerce and social media capabilities.
