interesting: my take from him that paramount could make their announcement earlier

HD DVD fanboy: 'Don't worry dear Bill Hunt would never do that.'

Penton recently said his hint that a major business decision had been made but probably could not be made public this week, due to logistics. He has never said it has to be a movie studio.

Also, hopefully this story going public will cause Toshiba to speed up the timetable for their announcement, or for whichever company to which Penton was referring. Now HD DVD supporters will be wanting to know ASAP, to know if they're pissing their money away. So if this is true, the cat is out the bag and they need to lay it all out to not upset their loyal customers, and those who are still w/ HD DVD are VERY loyal, as we all know.

Does anyone know if this site also has a printed edition, which would explain this?

But in Hollywood, it's still the 14th.
