Random Rumoroids (not quite Factoids, if you get my meaning), none of which quite qualifies for their own post.
*it appears that Yamaha's Blu-ray player has been pushed back to Fall, instead of the Spring launch they originally intended. My source wouldn't confirm the underlying reasons, but at this point I suspect that it's perfectionism rather than hedging their bets to see which format will win out.
*a source for another brand, which shall remain nameless, commented to me last week that he was "pleasantly surprised" by sales of their HD-DVD players. However, the aforementioned brand already has a Blu-ray player developed and in reserve, just in case.
*more easily confirmed than the first two items, but Best Buy.ca is flogging select Blu-ray disc titles at CA$19.99 this week. So if you think that Underworld's undergood plot and characterizations could be trumped by Hi-Def visuals, have at it.

Well, it's either got to be Toshiba, RCA, or Onkyo, doesn't it?
Or Microsoft, if we're talking about an Xbox Blu-ray add-on and not just stand-alone players.
