Now appears on Sony's Website as coming soon. Hopefully will be out in the next couple of weeks, any one happen to know a firm date for the release?

Sony told me Oct. 1.

Looks like they may actually make it!

Bummer!
I read the specs at sonystyle.com and NO ONBOARD DOLBY DTS -MASTER AUDIO decoding at introduction!
They are not getting my money until it is added!

Does it mention if this will be available in a future update?

Who the hell knows?
I've been waiting for months for this player, now I may buy the Panasonid 50

I though this player was supposed to be fully loaded at release time... WTF Sony!?!?!?

I'm tired of all the over priced under spec'd crap... Maybe Blu can stay right where it is... on the shelf...

The website states that it will bitstream both HD codecs on launch, as well as decoding Dolby TrueHD, with DTS HD to follow with an update.

It looks like they are still making edits to those specs, as the listing only went up a couple of days ago. I won't be surprised if it's edited to decode both codecs before ship date.
