AP/Breitbart:
Blockbuster Inc. will rent high-definition DVDs only in the Blu-ray format in 1,450 stores when it expands its high-def offerings next month, dealing a major blow to the rival HD DVD format.

>>>>There is a big lawsuit going on right now and a decision will be made this week. A Korean singer/actor/dancer named Ji-Hoon Jung is being sued by a group of old men who sing Beatles' music and dress up like The Beatles. Ji-Hoon Jung (aka as Jung Ji-Hoon in Korea) uses the stage name "Bi" (pronounced "bee" which means "rain" in Korean) and has sold records all over Asia. However, the old guys who dress up like the Beatles are suing the Korean Rain for using their name. How can anyone be confused???? Rain: The Beatles Experience looks like this.
