Netflix subscribers have been informed the movie rental service will no longer carry HD DVD titles as of December 15.
Come mid-December, any HD DVD titles in customers' queues will be replaced with standard DVDs. The move was foreshadowed in February, when Netflix announced it had stopped buying HD DVD discs, but comes at a time some when some HD DVD titles are not yet available on Blu-ray.
Netflix's move away from HD DVD comes as it strengthens its online offerings, recently sealing deals to deliver content to Xbox 360s, TiVos and Apple Macs.
