Give a little more credit to the BDA

[Iron Man]

The BDA should do this, the BDA should do that on so on and so forth. Frankly I am getting a little tired of these threads. Don't get my wrong it thrills me to read threads from people who are interested and committed to the format war, but we should give a little more credit to the BDA.

Through my work as an auditor I have come to know many leaders in different firms and most are not as stupid as we may think. Sometimes people are writing about the BDA as they are a bunch of paralyzed people that doesn't know how to run this.

After SONY released the PS3, Blu-ray has been able to generate more than enough software sales to keep up with sales from HD-DVD and even surpass HD-DVD with a 2-1 margin. Because of this the BDA has been able to maintain a higher price for there standalone players than HD-DVD, which has lead to an ongoing influx of companies developing, announcing and releasing stand alone Blu-ray players. HD-DVD has been around for over 1.5 years now and they still haven't been able to get any other major company to support HD-DVD other than Toshiba. I would be very worried if I where in there camp, and with HD-DVD prices dropping even further no other company would be able to make any money from a HD-DVD player.

I am pretty sure that the BDA knows more about what's going on in this war than we do. I would like to see $99 Blu-ray players too, but they will come. I am pretty sure that the BDA will do what is best for the supporting companies and Blu-ray.

Thanks for you're time…
