At the specially convened IFA press conference, the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) announced that Acer will become the newest member of the BDA.

Acer, which joins the BDA as a contributing member, is one of the three largest personal-computer brands in the world and the number one notebook brand in Europe.

"We?re delighted to welcome Acer to the Blu-ray Disc Association," said Victor Matsuda, chairman of BDA?s Global Promotions Committee. "The addition of Acer provides one more sign of the growing momentum behind Blu-ray Disc and more importantly, is a significant advantage for consumers, as it further expands the already broad options available to consumers in the personal computer space."

"We are very pleased with the reception Blu-ray Disc has received by consumers thus far in 2007," Matsuda said. "From the onset, offering consumers a wide variety of quality hardware and content has been a focus for Blu-ray. We are extremely pleased to add Acer?s line up to the range of products available to consumers."
