Beatboy, tell me this isn't the article we have been waiting for....



The best thing was confirmation from Denon that the 3800 will be here before X-mas.

Unfortunately it is a VERY watered down version of the article I was expecting us to get. The article involving the time frame of the deal, the actual Spielberg clause and Paramount's fears of an EU investigation.

It does seem weird that the version previewed yesterday on the CED website morphed in to this.

None the less, we still get confirmation that Toshiba paid Paramount to not release on the Blu-ray format at this time. Seems like this may possibly be an illegal act on both companies part.

I am going to email my state Attorney General's office tonight with excerpts from the article and try to get a legal clarification on this "deal." I do feel we the consumers were the product of a "bait and switch" type business move on the part of Paramount. Paramount made official announcements and participated in active marketing of Blu-ray products and then just suddenly pulled the plug. It can be understandable that many people bought Blu-ray products based the the promises of Paramount.

I encourage you guys to email you State Attorney Generals as well with questions about this "deal."
