DeadBugs writes: "With Blu-ray accounting for 70% of Blockbuster's Hi-def rentals, they have decided to switch entirely over to Blu-ray. Several news sites are now reporting that Blockbuster has taken sides in the format war. Blockbuster has been testing both formats in 250 stores (out of 1450) and has decided on a Blu-ray over HD-DVD. Could this be the end of the format war?"
