Apparently Dreamworks cannot go BLU until Toshiba says so as they are still bound to the contract and 100 million they accepted back in the fall. Such a shame that BLU owners will still have to wait for Transformers!

With HD-DVD Players selling like hotcakes, Dreamworks still stands to make a ton of money before going BLU as the BLU owners will ALWAYS be waiting....

"We have a partnership with Toshiba and have an obligation to see this through," DreamWorks Chief Executive Jeffrey Katzenberg said on Tuesday.

"As you know, we have been well-compensated for our support. It really is in their court at this point to really declare what the next step will be. We're poised either way to jump into the marketplace when the conditions are right to do so," he said

You cares? your BLU loving buddies at every fansite that whined and whined about NO Transformers and HOW could they do this to us. Even Michael Bay stirred the pot a lot and still does..
