When I spoke with Steve Swasey, Director of Corporate Communications, in September he stated Netflix was concerned about a fragmented market and hoped for consolidation. Netflix CFO, Barry McCarthy, touched on this topic during an investor conference call yesterday. In addition to the typical positive company spin and business opportunities you hear in these presentations, McCarthy declared Blu-ray the winner of the next generation DVD war and speculated on high-def disc pricing. It’s yet to be seen whether or not their Blu-ray proclamation is premature."</i><br /><br />And the saga continues, this time with Netflix coming down on the side of Blu-Ray.
