However, I do not agree with Boby's statement that BD IS relying on PS3 for movie sales volume. If that is true, why reduce SAL player prices? Why did Sony not reduce the PS3 price? It's obvious to me that BD is pushing SALs as their BD movie source, and NOT the PS3.
Another fact is it doesn't matter what the movies are played on. PS3 functions great as a BD player, so why not use it as such. It is a game console and BD player. This unit probably fits the bill for many consumers that are interested in both aspects. Personally, it's not for me and I have been very satisfied with my S300 and now S550.

Uhm, I'm not saying the BDA
wants to rely on the PS3--that is indeed why they are dropping the prices of SALs because they know they can't rely on the PS3. It still a fact that there are far more PS3's out there than SALs and that will likely remain true even after Christmas (which is what the DEG also predicts) and the PS3 demographic will likely continue to affect what movies are more successful than average and therefore, to some extent, what films will be released.
