The vice-chairman and CEO of leading US CE retailer Best Buy, Brad Anderson, has blasted the battle between HD DVD and Blu-ray, claiming it is making it impossible for retailers to get behind next generation disc formats. Talking at a trade summit organized by the CEA, he declared: “It creates so many problems. With DVD Audio, the format battle dramatically slowed down the effectiveness of both SACD and DVD-A.” He concluded that unless the industry supports an affordable HD disc platform, it will be a “disaster.”
