A reader pointed out after looking at his Netflix account page, that there are now preferences for HD-DVD. From the accounts page under "Formats" you can configure your HD-DVD options , such as if you have a HD-DVD player and if you always want a HD-DVD instead of DVD when available. There is now even a format column on your queue so you can see which HD-DVD's are in your queue."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/HD-DVD-Netflix.jpg" /><br /><br />Cool. We still get conflicting reports about exactly when HD-DVD will be ready on an almost day to day basis :) (probably next month now) but still, it is cool to see that Netflix is quite proactive about it.

Has Netflix committed to supporting Blu-Ray too? Even getting HD-DVD support first seems like a big victory for HD-DVD, seeing that many hardcore movie buffs probably have Netflix.
