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."

Can anyone imagine what it must be like to be sitting at home with:

1) A crappy Xbox 360(most likely replacement console number 4,5,6...)
2) The giant 1980s looking 200 dollar HD-DVD addon sitting next to it(looking oh so stylish!)
3) A giant pile of crappy HD-DVD movies you bought thinking you were helping to fight Sony(that you hateses so much!!!)

Losers. Absolute and utter losers.

HD-DVD has no region coding crap. And it's not backed by Sony (A company that amazed the world by being more evil than Microsoft).

Blu-Ray

Whatever.

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.

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.

This (NSA - Not Safe Anywhere) isn't even hi-def, and it will make you wish you were blind. Now imagine porn films where you can see the scars from the implants, the crows feet, the stretch marks, the acne scars, the pimples, the herpes sores, the needle tracks, the remnants of laser tattoo removal, the layers of makeup, the cellulite bubbles, the liposuction bumps, nose hairs, ear hairs, unibrows, the bad wigs and toupees, the jelly bellies, etc. Some things really are better left unseen.
