Some background:
When Universal started releasing HD DVDs in 2006, all of its titles included Spanish subtitles. However, in late January 2007 they stopped including Spanish audio, and none of the titles they released up to the end included Spanish subtitles (and to add insult to injury, the DVD side of their combos did include Spanish audio and subtitles).
I was curious to see what Universal would do now that it is beginning to release on BD. The answer has just come when DVD Times (http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=67667) put up the specs for their first day-and-date title, Doomsday. Spanish subtitles are included.
This is great news for all of us Spanish-speaking BD owners. (I have no problem with the English audio, but my wife doesn't speak English and, though she can read French, it's obviously much easier for her to read the subtiitles if they are in Spanish).
