US consumer electronics giant Best Buy has said that it will "recommend" that consumers choose Blu-ray, reports Reuters.

This news comes hours after the announcement from online video rental company Netflix that it would exclusively stock Blu-ray DVDs in its high-def category.

"Because we believe that Blu-ray is fast emerging as that single format, we have decided to focus on Blu-ray products", Brian Dunn, Best Buy's president and chief operating officer, said in a statement.

Best Buy will "prominently feature" Blu-ray hardware and software from March, although it will still offer HD DVD products.
