| Grimes said: NetFlix is a company that is dedicated to the distribution of content. They have the choice of focusing on blu-ray or DD. NetFlix is so excited about blu-ray, they forget to mention it in their latest commercial. The fact is NetFlix is putting their bets on DD, not Blu-ray. They can see the writing on the wall. |
The fact is people who own blu-ray players already know about blu-ray on netflix, from previous commercials and otherwise, and netflix has scrambled to increase their % of blu-ray discs over the past year. Netflix also wants to advertise DD, hence the mention in the commercial. The advertisement doesn't mean that Netflix is 'putting their bets' on DD and not blu-ray. That doesn't follow at all.
And anecdotally, the crap quality of Netflix streaming movies is one of the reasons I cancelled Netflix months ago. In 2 different apartments in Los Angeles, both with cable internet, I almost always got stuck with the lowest quality of stream when Netflix checked my connection. I had no option to buffer ahead and get a better picture, etc. No: blu-ray through Netflix is so, so much better; it works, and it's the best quality around.
@heruamon: Rpruett's points were all valid and counter selnor's obvious implication, if that's who you said made little sense. And blu-ray sales are rising quickly, is that picking up the slack?
