@andy8180: You'd have to provide something to back that BDA claim up. They stated that 2009 is when they expect to see BD truly take off. I never heard any statements about 2008 -- unless it was just after winning the format war, and the were overcome with sensationalistic bravado. They said early in the year (February or March) that 2009 is when pricing will increase market "penetration" significantly (or however marketing people say such things).
Now, Sony can say every year is the year of the PS3 if they want. They, however, are NOT the BDA. The list of BDA members is absolutely huge.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Hopefully this one won't double post! :-)
