This week, most of the rumors are lame re-hashes of ancient rumors (Netflix coming to the Xbox! iPhone SDK coming soon!) But, among the detritus were a couple of new gems of rumor-y goodness: External Blu-ray player for Xbox? A one-act play: HD DVD: Microsoft? Microsoft: What is it, honey? HD DVD: If I die ... will you ... will you remarry? Microsoft: (chuckles softly) What kind of question is that? HD DVD: Well ... it's just. Well. I think you should. I want you to be happy ... Microsoft: SWEET! BBC shows coming to iTunes Store? The good news: "Dr. Who", "Torchwood, "Extras", "The Office", "Red Dwarf", "The IT Crowd", and "Life On Mars". The bad news: Realizing the BBC exports better shows to us than we make ourselves. Yep, that's all. Hopefully, next week, the web-er-nets will be more creative with their rumor-mongering! Jeff Somogyi is dealnews' Media Editor. Despite his jab at American TV, he loves the good shows that the US DOES create ... All two of them
