That all changed now that Netflix has decided to support the Blu-ray format only.

This is yet another kick in the head over at Toshiba because HD DVD was developed by Toshiba. The major film studios still supporting HD DVD are Paramount and Universal. You can also find HD DVD players on the Microsoft XBox game system.

So what does this mean for you and me? This means that we are not control here, instead the film industry has decided the new format in which we should abide with.

Is HD DVD Dead??

They are now allowed raise the price easily now because there no longer is a lengthy approval process to raise postage stamp prices if the increase is below the inflation rate. This could mean a price hike of 1 cent to 2 cents every May.

Starting this May 2008, the mail rate for standard letter postage will increase from $0.41 to $0.42. The “forever stamps” however will remain valid for use at $0.41.
