Full Version: Porn industry chooses HD DVD

They say the reason VHS beat Betamax was because the adult entertainment industry chose VHS. Recently, at their annual get together, which coincidentally coincides with CES, the adult entertainment industry has chosen HD DVD as the preferred high definition format. Will this decision end the war this time around as well?

First of all, the home video market back in the Betamax vs. VHS war is incomparable to the Blu-ray and HD DVD market. Individuals are turning towards the internet for their video needs and more and more portable video players are becoming available. Still, at least when it comes to the porn industry, it seems that HD DVD is winning without question. But, why? First off, Blu-ray discs cannot be replicated, according to Pink Visual. Secondly, Blu-ray isn’t economical; the cost for choosing it as an HD format simply isn’t an option, even for bigger studios. It ultimately comes down to three words: Blu-ray is expensive.

"Blu-ray has superior quality, yes, but HD DVD is easier to produce, cheaper to produce and there are more HD DVD players in homes than there are Blu-ray players, for example in the Xbox 360," said a spokesperson for porn studio Bangbros.

Does it even matter?

The idea of HD porn unnerves me. There's something to be said for not seeing every last speck.

Remember, these are porn stars, not airbrushed models. There are some things you just don't wanna see X.gif

Sure, WE may not do it and we may not think such a business exists but the reality is that a large amount of people DO go out and buy porno on DVD etc. etc...

Yes, internet porn is a huge market but it still hasn't eclipsed the actual physical buying of a DVD for your own pleasure.

And you took that quote out of its context.

That's because porn is best enjoyed free and bootlegged.

Well, that certainly goes against everything Sony has been trying to do to NOT allow XXX porno on Blu-Ray.

Also, that article is dated Nov. 10th... the one I posted in the thread opener just happened like a day or two ago. We'll see.

It's VHS vs. betamax all over again. This time HD-DVD is VHS going against the better format of blu-ray which is like beta. HD-DVD was out first and still has a lead. My predictions....blu-ray will be a dead format within a few years. Sony will keep pushing it as their format for the PS3 in their normal proprietary bullshit fashion.
Flaw
I was just gonna add that Cyclone. If history repeats itself (as it usually does) the superior format will get beat by an inferior one which the porn industry chooses.
