Adult-Film Director Talks Blu-Ray

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Friday, January 12, 2007 3:35 PM

There has been a lot of speculation lately on the electro-webs about the HD-DVD war currently brewing between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.

The closest analogy is the '80s battle between VHS and Betamax. The conventional wisdom is that Beta lost that format war by refusing to allow pronographic movies on its tapes. So many feel that the format of choice among the pornography industry will decide the fate of next-gen DVD.

We caught up with director Robby D. at the Adult Entertainment Expo. Robby shoots first-rate pornography for high-end adult-movie company Digital Playground.

Here's what Mr. D. had to say about why his company is going HD-DVD and not Blu-Ray:

The winner in HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray war will be people who download it on the internet.

Well seems to me that this guy isn't sure. The paragraph said Mr. D. had to say about why his company is going HD-DVD and not Blu-Ray. But he didn't say that. he said he would like to use both and see where the market went as far as industry leader.

He's the thing. Every 360 sale isn't a sale for HD DVD since that is sold separately. While the every PS 3 is a Blu Ray player sale Sony strategy here is brilliant.

I have yet to see a Nintendo Wii in stores. PS3s are available almost everywhere. And all I want is to know the winner, a hint of, or even one of the hybrid players. I guess even the porn industry cant make up their mind. So much for analogies to past tech.

LMAO! The Wii would be a big hit if it made interactive porn with the Wii mote. Childish and immature to joke about yes, but amusing none the less.

Sony had better get with it or they will lose this thing, just like they did with betamax. If they would just get this thing with the duplication houses cleared up, HdDVD would simply go away.
