According to Blu-Ray 1080p is supported

I had been wondering about 1080p and it didn't seem like anyone had an answer to whether or not 1080p would definitely be supported by BD.

From Blu-RayDisc.com:
"Video highlights
The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports three highly advanced video codecs, including MPEG-2, so an author can choose the most suitable one for a particular application. All codecs are industry standards, meaning easy integration with existing authoring tools, and choice from wide range of encoding solutions. All consumer video resolutions are available:
- 1920 x 1080 HD (50i, 60i and 24p)
- 1280 x 720 HD (50p, 60p and 24p)
- 720 x 576/480 SD (50i or 60i)"

That first format: 1920x1080 at 24p is definitely what a lot of people will be looking for as this represents the highest quality film to HD transfer available.

Do I still have to wait a year to get it here in the states though?
