Blu-ray assured reporters and analysts at a demonstration Tuesday that the new DVD format is still on schedule for a spring 2006 release. The Sony-led group said it also planned to have specific launch plans available in the form of product announcements at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
