This is what they've been waiting for?!?! With Java involved who did you think Sun was backing? What an anti-climax.

You might want to remove the ! and replace it with a *yawn*
I'd expect a ! from Blitz.

Sun is another company with great experience at losing vast amounts of cash.
I remember when sun used to trade for over $50/share. They were on top of the world. Then the bottom fell out (lost lots of market share to Dell and MS). I used to follow it closely because we pretty much exclusively used Sun products where I used to work.
Now their stock is under $5/share.
See the stock performance (http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?page=charting&mode=basics&intraday=off&timeframe=6y&charttype=ohlc&splits=off&earnings=off&movingaverage=None&lowerstudy=volume&comparison=off&index=&drilldown=off&symbol=SUNW&selected=SUNW)

But the ! gives everyone a small taste of the let down that this news gives to those of us who've been following this news for days. All that waiting a speculating for -- SUN.

Blu-ray is also announcing that your local electric companies will be coming on board as BD partners and will be the exclusive providers of power to your PS3 and BD player.

Damn, and I was hoping for their new partner to be Toastmaster. Perhaps then they could have bundled a free toaster with the Blu-Ray players. Who's going to pass up a free toaster?

You know what, Blu-Ray? Stop announcing shit and start RELEASING shit.
I want to love it or hate it but all this foreplay is giving me blu-balls.
This is like being with someone who constantly tells you he/she is going to buy sexy shit to wear but 99% never does. You think it's going to look good but you never get to see it on. And the 1% that you do, looks like shit.

I understand that Capital One is also a new partner. One may use their credit card to purchase the PS3.
