I thought that Sony said that they would not support pornography on the BR Format.

That's a good point. It'll never catch on over here then.

I dont think Sony ever said that porn on Blu-ray wouldn't happen, just that it wont work directly with those doing so. Titles like this have been out in Japan for a good while now.

Re: I thought that Sony said that this wouldn't happen.

The "story" about Sony not allowing BR to have pron was actually proved to be false when it first appeared in the press in Feb/March time - somestuff about Disney not wanting to risk a Debbie does Dallas transfer on a Bambi imprinted disc (basically as long as the BR pressing plant dont do Disney films, they can press what they like)

Re: I thought that Sony said that this wouldn't happen.

I was just thinking

Sony created Betamax, which was dusted by VHS. Why? Due to the fact that porn was either all or almost entirely on VHS.

So the video cassate war was won on the basis of porn.

Porn basicly helped make the internet what it is today. Or so people say.

Porn has a big say in how things go.

I think HD has porn already released. I don't know I don't have any.

So, is Sony fighting a losing battle, or at least playing catch up?

I still say porn will have no effect on this Format War. But it's always good to have support and discs pressed to lower production costs.

90% of fims made in America are porn. HD DVD has had films out since around Christmas last year. So far I've seen 'Island Fever 3' and 'Camp Cuddly Pines Power Tools Massacre.' Camp Cuddly Pines was filmed on HD cameras. These Japanese releases are from a pressing plant in Taiwan I think.
