President of Philips Consumer Electronics, Stewart Muller, announced that Target will go Blu-ray exclusive.
It does seem a little weird, an announcement like this not being announced by Sony first. However, Muller announced this at Philips’ CES press conference. We will let you know directly when Target confirms this.
Along with this announcement he announced a new Blu-ray player, the BDP7200 Blu-ray player. We can’t name any specifications as of right now.
We will have more on the Target going Blu-ray exclusive, as soon as it is released. And stay tuned for more news from CES 2008!
UPDATED: According to Blu-ray, as well as Philips, this has turned out to be a rumor much like the first time it was passed around the jail house. Sorry for the confusion and we’ll keep you posted if anything changes again, thanks.
