This is the type of news that makes my day

I'm sure he said "by the end of the year" just so he can't get called out by people for giving an exact date or being wrong. Obviously it's going to happen as soon as Best Buy drops HD DVD because their the biggest HDM retailer in the country. Studios won't be able to hold out while not selling discs. It will be sooner, he's just setting it up so we aren't pissed off or dissapointed *if* it doesn't happen by the end of February or something.

So, it may be all about Toshiba trying to "save face"?

Hmm, how does one save face in the Japanese culture?

Anyone?!? Anyone?!?

Exactly!

Meh,

It will be good when it happens. Until then we have to keep hearing the rumors over and over for the next couple of months.

There are other posters from Depair.com that could apply to Toshiba and hd-dvd.
