Blue Blu-ray

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 real problem is the speed of the burners. If the person has to sit around for any length of time to burn it, the typical user is going to start surfing or playing solitaire or something else. This will likely mess up the burn as they are probably using a measly 512MB on their memory hog vista. If the burners were to start showing up on computers in Best Buy and burn at a reasonable speed then you might start seeing SOME of the Joe SixPacks occasionally backing up their whole computer or at least all that really mattered to them.
