I Emailed them this morning about the story and they said they would change it.

This is the reply I got back.

Dear Bob --

Thanks very for the feedback, and sorry for the error.

We've updated the article to reflect the correct information regarding DTS-MA decoding capability in current Blu-ray players.

Thanks very much for sending it along, it is much appreciated!

Sincerely,

It's funny they make mistakes on Blu-ray articles but not on HDDVD articles. I guess that's more convenient for them and their agenda.

I don't think so. That site (as others have posted) is biased towards the HD-DVD format. They should be held to a higher standard. If they speak authoratatively they need to be sure of what is printed.

On the other hand many of us, *including myself* are clueless and will ask or say things that appear to be wrong or anti-blu. We need the slack HD-Digest doesn't.

Edit: BTW, good job in having them correct the statement.

I guess Peter figured his BD player was one of the select few. He never seemed to miss mentioning the DTS core in his reviews.

They were having a corrections day, it seems:

Warner Brings 'Blood Diamond' to Blu-ray, HD DVD

Editors note: An earlier version of this story broadly attributed Warner's decision not to support IME on Blu-ray titles to "delayed release of Blu-ray's BD-Java authoring environment." As has since been correctly pointed out to us, primary support of BD-J is in fact present and functional in all Blu-ray Disc players.
Instead, it is secondary audio/video support of BD-J (a hardware feature
especially useful in providing picture-in-picture features) that remains less prevalent, although the BDA recently announced that it will become mandatory in new player models released after Oct 31st, 2007. We regret the error.

At least they are correcting the errors.

Good job on correcting the FUD/error, guys.

OT:
Anyone know if vgchartz is accurate re console nos.?

Hasn't the 360 crossed 10M yet? The 12M by H1, 2007 makes sense then.

Also, how is PS3 supposed to meet the 6M target with 3.2M sold thus far?

Most of us here go by vgchartz.com because they list their sources. So, this should be pretty accurate.

MS would tell you they sold that many. I would say by looking at the numbers that they haven't passed 10 million sold. There are some errors associated with these numbers, but not by much.

The PS3 was suppose to SHIP 6 million units by the end of March. I believe they made it or were very close to that goal.
