Blue Blu-ray

Posted by kdawson on from the embracing-while-holding-their-nose dept.

TopSpin writes "Early this year the meme circulated that Blu-ray might be going the way of Betamax, and for the exact same reason: Sony's unfriendliness to the porn industry. But at Japan's recent euphemistically named Adult Treasure Expo 2007, adult filmmakers said Sony has begun offering technical support, and this was later confirmed by Sony PR. The company stated that Sony would offer support to any filmmaker working on the format, no matter their industry. Apparently, Blu-ray is now the preferred medium for Japanese adult films."

    The porn industry is perfectly capable of going both ways... and a few others besides.

    The preferred format for the geek community is "teen girl". It will never quite completely erase the "big breast" format, though.

    You can really see the increased detail of the pixelization of the sex organs much more.

    Suit yourself. I'll get myself the "Teen Girl" / "Big Breast" hybrid model.

    It may cost a bit more, I don't have to worry about choosing the wrong format.

  12. Same about the PS3. by beswicks · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sony removing the vibrators from the PS3 controllers has clearly robbed the world of new and interesting uses and pushed back the development of Teledildonics, the bastards.

    Oh well maybe these blue blu-rays are comparable with Bluedildonics? At least the PS3 has bluetooth.

    (Yes I know that things other than PS3's can play the blu-ray).

      I hope the word "teledildonics" gets added to the SCIGEN database. I know I just added it to my system's dictionary.

    Who wants H.D. pr0n? Do you really want to see cellulite, open pores, wrinkles, etc. all in high-def? You'll end up wishing porn really did make you go blind. Hi-def makes it much harder to fulfill people's fantasies with real-life actors. Even the producers are complaining about it. I demand a sample to assess the veracity of this claim.

  14. Re:Difference? by Stormwatch · · Score: 5, Funny

    The difference is that nobody has any idea what the difference is between DVD-R and DVD+R.
    The difference is very clear, when you think about it. See, one is negative, the other is positive. So you use DVD-R to store emo songs, drama movies, professional images, and war-themed 3D shooters; and use DVD+R to store pop-rock songs, comedies, funny cat pics, and 2D platformers.

    Not to mention that Japanese porn will have HD blurring out of portions of the video. Awesome!
