The reward and incentive to be Blu-ray should be apparent to anyone. You sell more discs on Blu-ray. If the BDA really wants to spend money on incentives they should take that $150m, spread it across all the BD stand alone players out there and give a couple hundred dollar rebates on a million players. That increases the userbase, and the Studios sell more discs, or I should say, even more than they are now.

This is a good idea, by the way. Though right now the BDA is having the 5-BD Free promotion so will have to wait until September ends (hey, that's a song!)
Penton-Talk, apart from the Denon player any other players that will be Profile 1.1 compliant that will launch in Q4 this year? Will the BDA mark November 1st with some sort of promo?
