I know that it is spelled wega, but my friend says that they say vega on the commercial. So, is everybody as sure as I am that it is wega?

I believe that it is spelled WEGA. However, if you look at the box, it almost appears that there are two 'V's (a V and a shadow of one). I know it is pronounced VEGA, though.

Hope that helps.

This is confusing and if I were part of Sony's marketing staff, I would have changed the name.

The word looks like WEGA because that is how it is spelled. But it is indeed pronounced "Vay-ga" which is named after one of, if not, thee brightest stars in our galaxy.

The Sony TV commercial pronounced it Vega...

I'd say that's pretty solid proof!

It's Vega. It's named after a star and the name is German. In German w's are pronounced as v's Like the composer Wagner is pronounced Vahgner.

Just how many of these Wega/Vega question threads can we have? Looks like one every two weeks.

wow...i really didn't know it was pronounced vega, learn something new every day!

I asked a friend of mine who works on a sony warehouse and he told me they pronounced it WEGA!

You say po-tay-tow, I say po-tah-tow, you say to-may-tow, I say to-mah-tow: let's call the whole thing off.

That's why they hired and placed him to work on the warehouse.
