PCWorld.com has a story up about Electronic Arts & Vivendi Universal Games, who are announcing at CES that they are supporting Sony's Blu-ray disc format. A bit strange to be sure. For console systems they have to support whatever Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo uses, and on the PC they still aren't using the DVD format after all these years, so this seems symbolic support more than anything else. Thanks HomeLAN Fed.
