Sony cut prices on select LCD TVs by up to $500 and launched new scan down promotions to close the gap with rivals like Samsung. Specific models saw price cuts of $200 to $500, and some TVs were paired with $100 to $300 scan down promotions running through early August. Sony appears to be most aggressively promoting its Z5100 TV series, which are paired with $300 scan downs in July reducing to $200 in August. The moves aim to make Sony more competitive against manufacturers such as Samsung.

The document provides an overview of the consumer electronics industry outlook according to NPD analyst Stephen Baker.

Baker notes opportunities for CE retailers in the shift to large-screen TVs, importance of knowledgeable salespeople, and ability to sell accessories and peripherals through multimedia devices. However, consumer confidence remains weak and many consumers are waiting for lower prices before purchasing new products.

An analyst said the ads help show that hardware is still important to the CE industry and can help RadioShack update its image. RadioShack's ad featured 1980s celebrities and was meant to position the company as reinvented and focused on today's technology needs.

Both sides were upbeat after the Supreme Court oral arguments in the case regarding California's law banning the sale of violent video games to minors. While it was difficult to predict how the court would rule based on the questions and comments from the justices, representatives from both sides felt their attorneys effectively made their cases. The justices raised concerns about the vagueness of the law and whether it could apply to other forms of media. The court will make a ruling in the coming months.

Sony announced that all PS3 systems will be upgradeable through firmware updates to play 3D content from 2010 onward. This positions the PS3's 3D compatibility as a key advantage over other consoles. There has been some debate about whether current PS3 and Blu-ray player hardware can handle 3D with just a firmware update. Sony says it can for the PS3, while Panasonic says it's not possible for their Blu-ray players. Sony is looking to establish 3D formats for Blu-ray discs, HDMI and broadcast TV as it rolls out 3D gaming and movie content on the PS3.

FilmOn X CEO Alkiviades David says that regardless of the Supreme Court's decision in the Aereo case, FilmOn X's business will survive because only 3% relies on free-to-air TV and most relies on licensed content and social video features. David plans to file a motion for FilmOn X to intervene in the Aereo case to argue their separate position that their technology is more evolved than Aereo's. Experts debate whether Congress anticipated how new technologies could impact terms like "performance" in copyright law, and what the implications may be of the Supreme Court's upcoming decision in the Aereo case.

NBCUniversal will soon make its TV content available to stream on set-top streaming devices like Apple TV and Roku. Jennifer Pirot of NBCUniversal said they are working to finalize negotiations with set-top box makers and plan to have their content available on devices by the end of the year. Currently, NBCUniversal content is only available via apps on mobile devices. HBO has seen more success in making its content widely available across devices because it started earlier with its HBO Go app and has a larger library of content to choose from compared to broadcast networks like NBC.

NATM retailers are surviving but not thriving in 2010 due to a challenging business environment with slow sales, weakening margins, and overuse of scan-down rebates and bundles by manufacturers. While NATM sales increased in 2010 due to members like P.C. Richard joining, overall consumer electronics sales are flat and inventory levels are high. Scan-down deals further reduce retailer margins and bundled items impact profits on goods they normally make good margins on. The introduction of 3D TVs also poses challenges without much 3D content available.

The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of the video game industry, declaring unconstitutional a California law restricting minors' access to violent video games. While the original sponsor sees a possibility of revisiting the issue if the court's composition changes, industry representatives and legal experts believe the decision provides strong precedent and it is unlikely and difficult to envision the issue being revisited in the near future. The decision was seen as a major victory for free speech rights in media.
