I wonder where your rep got that idea from, since Lucasfilm has long stated otherwise. Lucas and his employees have stated multiple times over the last 2-3 years that they had no plans for the SW films on HD discs, and that if they were, they would wait until there was only one format.

Only one of two things is happening soon: Celebration or a severe flogging.

Assuming its a false rumour.

it would have been much more fufilling to causing problems to say fox is going neutral or something like that and giving an ultimatium a tad later. seriously this isn't even going to go on for 24 hours.

even if it not happening, BD gaining support every week, while HD DVD losing exclusivity

Or the most likely outcome: Nothing.

Even if this is total crap, this thread is fun as hell! My morning has been made just reading all of these great posts. Ha ha!

I will be gobsmacked if it is true, but I really think the OP is a Troll.

Wondering that one myself. The OP is making this out to be something like the President stepping out into the Rose Garden to dispense some earth shattering news.

Go Ahead Warner Bros...Make My Day!

Someone asked about this in the insiders thread on AVS and when a few of us called out the HD-DVD folks for the prank, the thread got closed. So now, all the once useful threads on AVS are now closed.
