1. Digital downloads will not eliminate the need for discs anytime soon.

Stop whining you girly man.  Netflix, Apple TV, Hulu, sites like Fox On Demand, etc. It is good enough for the time being.

2. Having one clear standard is a big advantage.

No, it gives capitalist competition.

3. Blu-ray isn't going to be replaced by another disc format anytime soon.

HVD anyone?

4. Prices for large-screen HDTVs will continue to drop.

True but in a recession people tend to stick to basics.

5. Prices for Blu-ray players will continue to drop.

See above.

6. Prices for Blu-ray discs will drop to near DVD price levels.

Maybe.

7. Sony will sell lots of PlayStation 3 game consoles.

Another fanboy, jeesh. + why would most people w/ a sub $100 BD player in the near future?

8. Sony can't afford to have Blu-ray fail.

Yes it can.  It is a big company that can make up another format.  They are no newbies at doing that ;)

9. Sony and its partners will figure out a way to have Blu-ray resonate with the public.

They sure are doing a heck of a good job at it now, aren't they?
