If it is true (who knows) just please don't let it be an HD port-over. I don't want DD+ for sound, but rather one of the full lossless audio options.

Love Hendrix!

And hopefully, the BD-Java issues will be 'worked out', and Paramount's Blu-ray release will be compatiable with all players. (I got the HD-DVD myself in late Dec, for $15 at a BBuy BOGO sale).

I should note, that a friend of mine who owns the Samsung 1200 player - that although he can now play the Fox BD+ discs (such as The Fly, and FF2: Silver Surfer) after the recent update, at least one title with BD-Java - 3:10 to Yuma - will NOT load/play. Surely, Samsung will issue another FU to address this.

That BD-P1200 sure turned out to be quite a debacle. It's a shame because there are quite a few owners out there. Too bad for them. Then again, there is that lawsuit.

I personally prefer "Voodoo Child" over "Loverboy" as I always ended up having the urge to sing TURN ME LOOSE.

Love Hendrix!

Here are some words about that very thing, Transformers on BR I cannot wait:

From DB:

On that note, we've suddenly begun hearing from multiple retail sources that new Paramount Blu-ray titles have just begin appearing in their inventory software as "on order" or "available for pre-order," including Blades of Glory and (apparently) Transformers. Yes, you read that right. We have yet to officially confirm this, but we're working to get more information on it. For the record, I was unable to get a response from Paramount on Friday (they seem to be in a bit of a media "lockdown" mode at the moment - which is probably no surprise given last week's events).

Is DD+ even used on Blu-Rays? I was under the impression that it wasn't really supported by any of the players.

Actually, several players can decode it internally, but it is seldom ever used on movies. Out of the 490 or so Blu-ray available, only a handful of movies contain DD+ tracks.
If there is no true lossless track available on a certain movie then usually Blu-ray supporting studios opt to use DTS-HD High Resolution Audio instead of DD+. Or even just a high bitrate (1.5 Mbps) DTS core track.
