Blu-Ray Says No Way to Porn; HD-DVD Becomes Sloppy Seconds Written by Kaonashi Published January 13, 2007 In what appears to be a repeat of the VHS vs. Betamax story, Sony may have lost the format wars once again. Adult studio Digital Playground has switched allegiances, confirming that from now on, they'll be publishing their movies in HD-DVD format. According to There Joone, Digital Playground's founder, and adult movie director, last year he had an agreement with Sony to start publishing his movies on Blu-Ray. However, the tech giant seemed to have a change of heart. The U.S. Blu-Ray Disc copying facilities refused to work with him. In fact, according to Joone, the companies explained that Sony had threatened to revoke their Blu-Ray licenses should they publish adult content in Blu-Ray format. Playstation 3 and other Blu-ray player owners will now suffer at not being able to watch women suckling each other's exposed, artificial mammaries in vivid 1080p resolution on a 50-inch screen. Meanwhile, lucky HD-DVD player owners (including those with the add-on for XBOX 360) rejoice as Digital Playground announces the release of a slew of movies for February. Yep, next month they'll be able to get their hands on Island Fever 3, Pirates, Teen America and Island Fever 4. And that's not all. The company plans to release at least 4 HD-DVD titles per month. Mark your calendars, boys. Fill out those online pre-order forms. You have a fun year ahead of you! I expected that the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray format war will be won with what's in people's pants, but I was thinking wallets, not their loins. To be honest though, I don't know if the porn industry will have as big an impact in the format wars this time around. Sure, it may have been one of the deciding factors that helped push the video industry away from Betamax and towards VHS in the early 80s, but that was then and this is now. After all, we now have this little thing called "The Internet" that allows guys to get any type of pornographic material any time, anywhere- sometimes even for free! Go figure. If he has a big enough, clear computer monitor and some good speakers, I don't see why a guy would even need a DVD player, let alone anything next-gen.

Yeah but in this case, its actually a better standard. I hate sony myself, but I would like the better technological standard to win.

Originally posted by Invasionmix Apparently Time Warner Brothers own about 70% of the distribution, so if they pick Blu-Ray it's basically the decision, they supported both formats for a while, but had till the end of the month to make a decision. Also according to the older format wars, which ever the porn industry supported usually becomes the main format.

70% of what distribution?

Also, the porn industry supported UMD, which died big time, so their decisions are not the final word.

just get a drive for your comp

DVD R/BluRay+HD DVD ... then you can run all formats.

i guess im gonna have to wait longer to decide what to buy. i will most likely end up buying blu-ray since thats probably what most regular (non-porn) movies will be released as. porn in standard definition is fine for me. i dont want high def porn so i can see the herpes outbreak in vivid 1080p.

I thought, "Oh right, if I categorically eliminate all other people, it's just me and her. She'd like that.
"Especially you" I said.
"You are virtually the ring leader, the way I see it."
Then, I blew out the candle.

p.s. thats a shame that the better format is losing, thank you sony, please develop more inferior products so we can all love you again.

How is HD-DVD superior to BlueRay? Sony usually makes pretty good products, but their business actions are just despicable.

This means nothing to me. I don't see why DVD isn't enough for people.
