sony will not allow Porn to be released on Blue Ray.......Porn will bring down Sony, mark my words!

[Snrf]

porn! woo!

[Carlos_E]

Agreed

[zodiac666]

holy shit, are they retarded?

[Flagg]

Sony are going for the "family friendly" route but I think everyone is in agreement of how much money porn actually generates. We're all looking at it in some form everyday. Infact I whacked off before work this morning.

[crash187ct]

i think technology should not be biased. technology is technology, plain and simple, it should be offered to whatever you consider good, bad.

[biglouie250]

porn is a billion dollar industry. Sony being shortsighted in the past is what doomed the beta-max in favor of VHS..... guess people never learn their lesson.

[MotoXracer]

Yeah right, you know how small the market is for people who actually buy porn on DVDs?

probably not that small, and even if it was small, why eliminate all those sales? do they really think some hardcore christian is not going to buy a blue ray because they allow porn dvd's to be made for their system???

You can argue that both ways and say the hardcore christian will buy blue ray because it doesn't allow porn. Remeber, Blockbuster doesn't allow porn at thier stores and they did just fine. It's a niche market so I don't think it will be so bad to begin with and I believe eventually they will allow it.

That is like saying you won't own a television because it can be used to watch porn on, or you won't buy books because some people get erotic novels publish in book form.

Wtf. does the media has to do with that? If you're against porn, just don't buy it, it really is as simple as that!

[scriptfactory]

Who do you know that buys or rents porn on VHS tapes still? Hell, none of the video stores in my area even carry porn on VHS tapes, it's all DVDs. There is a "bargain bin" with loads of VHS tapes, though. The market for porn on DVD is HUGE. Don't get it twisted. People want to see humpin' in hi-def, they don't want to have to tweak the tracking on a VHS player to get a decent picture for 5 minutes of masturbation... DVD porn sales have to be around $15 billion annually in the US alone. That isn't THAT small of a market...

what u on about?!!? lol

america spends more on porn than what gets spent on aid for southern africa! FACT!

[biglouie250]

4.28 billion dollars spent on Porn DVD's. that is pretty sick!

[Snrf]

Yeah I remember reading once the porn industry in the US is bigger than all the US professional sports COMBINED.

SOny are retarded

[zodiac666]

ps3 will still probably keep the blue ray alive but i really hope someone at sony executes the politicially correct, piece of shit, who made that decision. and i guess whoever confirmed that decision should be shot as well.

[manwithin]

Sony has messed up before so I'm not surprised at all. Betamax,MiniDisc,UMD,MicroMV,PDD, and now blur-ray... I have a ps3 and an xbox360 with HD DVD drive and for the past two month I've been renting HD movies from netflix and I have to say the PQ of the HD DVD is better then blu-ray.... the only movie that looked great on blu-ray was ice age 2 other then that HD DVD has looked better over all.

your forgetting their assanine manuever to go with their own memory stick and not be main stream and used SD.

[ebjack]

I've got some porn DVDs but I'm not sure I want to see it in high def....

[aadrenaline]

like i said before xbox > ps3 bahaha

[goodcents]

Agreed

Anything you can add w/o getting in trouble with your company? Btw, how can they keep someone from making something in a format. If you make a video in dvd or vhs, do you have to get the creators ok? As far as I know anyone can publish a video if they want

[manwithin]

Well I see your point on there memory stick but it's still around so it's didn’t total fail... also I didn't include their spyware they put on cd a year back or their horrible codex for mp3 players "ATRAC3"...
by the way HD porn looks great I have only one (so far) it's called "pirates"

[SVTMuscle*]

Ahh... another way for God to tell us he loves us.
HD Porn. w00t

they license the blue-ray technology to companies. they have ultimate creative control however and can strip the license if they so choose.

well my point with the memory stick really wasnt that it is a failure, just that it is stupid that it isnt compatible with so many things. for that reason i wont ever buy a sony camera because it seems that SD is a more popular media storage device. they did it so you would only buy sony products (take mem stick from camera put it in slot on sony tv, then to PSP etc) the problem is that is the exact reason i wont buy it because sony doesnt produce the best things or the best value of things.

[J.S.N.]

i don't think it will be that big of a deal, because VHS was to porn when it first came out what the internet later became for porn. however i totally agree that blue ray is the next betamax.

All I know is that i haven't bought or rented porn since it's free on the internet and I'm not alone. Hell, if it's a close race maybe this will be what kills blue ray, what do I know...

dont know if it will kill them but it will definitely hurt them

I thought you said there will be no Blu-ray porn???


Debbie Does Blu-ray & HD-DVD
Vivid Entertainment announces its first adult title on high-def DVD.
By Phillip Swann

Washington, D.C. (January 12, 2007) -- Vivid Entertainment will release its first adult film on Blu-ray and HD-DVD in late March or early April, TVPredictions.com has learned.

The first release will be Debbie Does Dallas... Again, a remake of the classic Debbie Does Dallas. The film stars Stefani Morgan as Debbie and is directed by Paul Thomas.

Vivid, which generates $100 million in sales annually, told TVPredictions.com last November that it would release its debut HDTV DVD on Blu-ray first and HD-DVD later.

"As of now, it (the first release) will just be Blu-ray," said Vivid CEO Steve Hirsch. "But that's not to say we won't release it in HD-DVD later. Blu-ray seems to have the momentum. But we're not in the business of picking winners. We will produce content for all formats."

But a Vivid spokeswoman today said Debbie Does Dallas...Again will be released in both formats on the same day.

Asked if that reflected a change in position, the spokeswoman said: "I don't know about that. We've been talking only about releasing in both formats starting with Debbie."

The adult industry's stance on the format war between Blu-ray and HD-DVD is being closely watched as a possible barometer.

Digital Playground, another adult film studio, this week reversed course and said it would release its films on HD-DVD after earlier endorsing Blu-ray. And a few other adult film makers said they were leaning to HD-DVD.

Blu-ray: We Like Porn, Too
A spokesman for the high-def DVD says there's no effort to block adult film studios from making discs.
By Phillip Swann
*
Washington, D.C. (January 17, 2007) -- The Blu-ray Disc Association is denying that it's trying to block adult film studios from releasing their titles on the high-def DVD.

Last week, several adult studio executives said they would release their films on HD-DVD, the HDTV DVD rival to Blu-ray, because Blu-ray copying facilities were refusing to cooperate with them.

But Marty Gordon, vice chairman of the Blu-ray Disc Association, which represents companies backing the format, tells the web site Ars Technica that Blu-ray will work with all content providers.

"The **A welcomes the participation of all companies interested in using and supporting the format, particularly those from the content industry," Gordon told the web site. "We look forward to working with any content providers interested in providing their audience with (the) possible High-Definition home entertainment experience."

Gordon did not refer to the adult studios, but it appeared clear that his remarks were directed at the controversy which surfaced last week at an adult industry conference in Las Vegas. Joone, the head of Digital Playground, a leading adult studio, said Sony, which backs Blu-ray, did not want him to publish his films on Blu-ray.

Vivid Entertainment, another leading adult studio, told TVPredictions.com that it would release its first HDTV DVD title on both Blu-ray and HD-DVD. However, Vivid CEO Steve Hirsch acknowledged that it was difficult finding a Blu-ray copying facility that would cooperate with him.

Vivid will release Debbie Does Dallas...Again in both formats in late March or early April.
