This came out "officially" today but there were rumors about it late yesterday.
The other forums are treating this as big news (or at least some of Blu-Ray fan boys). At least big enough news to initiate lively discussions. I treat this as bad news for HD-DVD, but not necessarily good news for Blu-ray. Time will tell.
Now let's see if other B&M stores start to defect from the HD-DVD bandwagon....
