Adult Film Industry Moving To HD DVD

Posted by kdawson on from the BetaMax-deja-vu dept.

profet writes "One of the heavyweights in the war between BlueRay and HD DVD has chosen its format. Various members of the adult film industry have decided on HD-DVD. The article says the reasons seem to be based primarily on cost of manufacturing. History has shown that the porn industry can be a driving factor for technology, as it was in deciding for the VHS format over BetaMax." Heise reports that US BlueRay press plants are refusing the adult industry's business (in German).

    Perhaps Sony is still stinging with the parental backlash against kids putting porn on their PSPs. How many more PSPs to adults did that revelation sell again?

    Which is EXACTLY why I have to import my nudie UMD's from Tokyo instead of getting them at the 7-11 like in a civilized world.
