The BDA did something stupid and comments like these make you wonder...

Well, the BDA made some really stupid comments that got reported on betanews that in my opinion could really end up causing a lot of controversy.

It’s the customers problem for buying too early:

“When BetaNews asked developers of BD Live whether they were concerned about a backlash from early adopters who supported the format from the beginning, we were told: "They knew what they were getting into."

BDA President Andy Parsons echoed that sentiment at the Blu-ray press conference Monday, telling BetaNews that it's normal for new technology to change and older hardware to become obsolete. ”


Apparently, it’s HD DVD’s fault for making them release too soon:


“When BetaNews asked why these manufacturers rushed out players that were not fully capable and potentially buggy due to their BD-J implementation, the Blu-ray partner pointed blame across the room to HD DVD. "We should have waited another year to introduce Blu-ray to the public, but the format war changed the situation," he said. HD DVD was already coming and the BDA had no choice but to launch Blu-ray.”


While I agree with the above to an extend, its just really stupid to see things like this
