Senior Sony executives are according to one senior insider acting like “Stunned Mullets” today following the decision by key Blu-ray partner JB HiFi to drop its exclusive support for Blu-ray and start selling the Toshiba backed HD DVD format.

Wow, this is the real news.

I was wondering if JB would do this - without HD-DVD support they would miss out on lots of revenue. And HD-DVD without JB support, would almost be dead in the water in Australia.

Its actually really good news for consumers - more choice, lower prices.

They also have a "budget" reputation, so selling the cheaper of the technologies (rather than just the premium one) does make sense IMO.

Maybe I will pick up Transformers some time (next year) - its the only movie I would consider getting in HD format at the moment (everything else - DVD is more than good enough!).
