CES 2006: Is HD DVD coming to the UK in 2006?

Might HD DVD make it to Europe this year after all? The Register is reporting that Studio Canal, part of the Canal Plus media Empire, has lined up 30 HD DVD discs for a launch sometime during 2006. Whether there will be anything to play them remains a moot point, for Toshiba, Sanyo and Microsoft are unlikely to offer HD DVD players in Europe until at least the end of year.
