A major Australian discount retailer JB Hi-Fi has given major boost to Blu-ray and their backers. According to the retailer, they will only stock Blu-ray discs. JB Hi-Fi announced the backing of Blu-ray at the official Australian launch of Blu-ray. Marketing Director of JB Hi-Fi, Scott Browning said:

“Blu-ray is the only format that has the ability to tell the whole story, with the most comprehensive offering on the market. With seven of Hollywood’s leading studios accounting for the vast majority of 2006’s home video sales, among the 170 plus companies globally that support Blu-ray Disc, it makes sense that content will be king when it comes to Blu-ray.

Indeed this is the reason that we have decided to only stock Blu-ray products at JB Hi-Fi. The range of exciting new film and TV releases as well as the potential back catalogue means that we can deliver everyone’s favourite films on Blu-ray.”

With more and more companies lining up behind Blu-ray, it is looking good for the Blu-ray backers.
