It's about time they climbed off the fence, given that Kaleidescape's people have been beyond cagey on this subject for over a year now.

Marketnews: Kaleidescape Announces Support for Blu-ray
Popular (and pricy!) entertainment server manufacturer Kaleidescape announced to its dealers this week that the company would be producing a player in 2009 that would play back Blu-ray discs, as well as “regular” DVDs and CDs. The product will work with the company’s existing media servers as well.
Called the Blue-Laser player, the device will support the H.264, VC-1, and MPEG-2 formats. The company is “optimistic that it will be possible to import Blu-ray discs” at the time of the product’s launch next year.
As interesting as this news is, it remains merely a sideshow, as I well know that Kaleidescape harbors secret plans of being instrumental to the paid HD download wave in the near future, which is just one more reason for Hollywood to hate them.
