With Warner supporting Blu-ray, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before its distribution partners followed suit. We've recently learned that National Geographic has also joined the Blu-ray club, opting to drop HD-DVD support in favor of Blu-ray.According to the report we found, a spokesperson confirmed that the company would no longer release titles in HD-DVD, though there are no plans to make a formal announcement or press release regarding the matter. This support for Blu-ray is evidenced by their upcoming release, Sharkwater, being Blu-ray exclusive.
This isn't to say, however, that all National Geographic-related titles will become Blu-ray only. Films that are co-produced by National Geographic but distributed by other companies will be unaffected by the decision to go Blu-ray exclusive.
As a result of this news, BBC is now the last remaining Warner-distributed company to maintain format neutrality. At this rate, however, it seems likely that BBC will also make a decision on its choice of format soon.
