Default Speilberg Announcement an Mistake! TAKE A LOOK!

http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=568

---------
Marv Levy, spokesperson for Steven Spielberg, was kind enough to speak with us today regarding the recent surprise announcement from Universal Home Video Japan that Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park and Back to the Future would be released on HD DVD.

According to Mr. Levy, "There are no plans to release these titles on HD DVD. It was a mistake and someone inadvertently put those titles into a presentation"

Mr. Levy also mentioned that Universal will be making a public statement regarding this mistake in the coming days.

Blu-ray.com would like to thank Mr. Levy for again speaking with us regarding Mr. Speilberg's films and their future in the world of high definition media.

No surprise really. However, I will say this BTTF is the ONE and ONLY title that would make me go neutral.

I would hope blu-ray.com is accurate. It would be a shame for both HD formats to piss Spielberg off instead of just one

Given blu-ray.com's track record, I'll wait until Universal actually announces something.

What news, reported in the main page of Blu-ray.com, not a thread in the forums, was inaccurate so far?

This is exactly what I was expecting, yet another "mistake" slash FUD from HD DVD PRG.
