Just because this is announced does _not_ mean that it will actually appear in a form we will be happy with, on the date specified, or at all for that matter.
It's happened more than once in the DVD industry for announcements to be nothing more than air.
It's real the day they go on sale (not even ship (Ed Wood was actually pulled from store shelves the first time)).
The community would suffer a major set back if we all said game over and those discs never showed up...
