I agree. I personally think the reality will be somewhere in the middle. I think Blu-Ray will continue to have steady growth and I think prices will drop, but I don't think we will see extreme price drops on media or extreme spikes in sales. Maybe in 2009 if the economy starts to recover, but that is a big if.
There was no way for the CE's or studios to foresee the current economic crises. Clearly some people in the industry thought they were immune and that is not the case and now some people have egg on their face. I really hope the studios follow the lead of the BD CE's and get prices down faster than they had most likely planned. Desperate times call for desperate measures
