It was! Discovered Genesis with Selling England By the Pound and had to work my way back to the original album. One of my favorite bands to this day.

I'm glad to say things are on order and announcement is indeed due 10AM Pacific Time.
For now let me try to address few questions :

-As for Nickerson leaving Warner, I have head few stories but I'm not really sure if they are correct. Some say he was leaving because he wanted to, some day after Paramount announcement a change was inevitable (Warner being last dual format supporter) and Nickerson didn't have any plans. So nothing specific that I have here share with you.

-As for Warner not waiting till 2008 to announce exclusivity, the answer is simple. Here's what I have heard :
"The initial plan was to get Warner exclusive on Blu-ray and declare the news in 2008. the deal was reached last month. However considering the upcoming hollidays, BDA pressured Warner to make the announcement in Q4 so they can sell more units. Also there will be a coupon in Harry Potter set (take this with a grain of salt) that will give customers 100$ off on a Blu-ray player (Probably Panasonic). What BDA didn't succeed in was to prevent Warner from releasing HD DVDs till the end of 2007 which is not shocking considering the contract Warner has with Toshiba and the backlash Paramount caused by stopping their support so sudden. So Warner chose to be smart here.

Guys less than 4 hours is left till the announcement. For those who have doubt me, you are going to enjoy the news even more since you didn't expect it. For others, I'm happy that you guys wont be disppointed.

Well at least the site's server(s) are holding up well. Kudos to the admin.

In about 2 1/2 hours I bet you guys hit close to 1000 on at once. Should be interesting to see how it holds up.
