Very nice but you are missing THE most important date of ALL... the date that sealed HD DUD's faith:

TOKYO, Aug 03, 2004 (Kyodo via COMTEX) -- The world's 13 major electronics makers said Tuesday they will draw up by Sept. 30 a set of technological specifications for ultra-large-memory prerecorded "Blu-ray Disc" videodisks whose functions will be limited to playing back contents.

In a related move, Sony officials said the company will equip an upcoming version of the PlayStation2 video console with a Blu-ray Disc player, so that purchasers can enjoy both video games and movies of high-image quality.
