Universal is NOT releasing any Blu-ray movies, or at least has not announced such. Toshiba's $149 HD-DVD player news is over 2 weeks old, though the recent Super Bowl Ad might make folks think otherwise, and it just makes official the pre-Christmas discounts that retailers were anyway dispensing. I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but even Peter Ha would concede that Warner's switch to Blu-ray signalled the death of HD-DVD. Or at least the beginning of the end. For more accurate HD media news, I'd stick to reading highdefdigest in the future. I’m usually a fan of your reporting, but here you picked the wrong article to quote.
