    Red face Porn giant backs Blu-ray

    Adult film company Digital Playground (with sales over $12 billion last year) has announced that it will release new products on Blu-ray Disc instead of HD-DVD. The company claims that it went with Blu-ray is because of the larger storage capacity with Blu-Ray over HD-DVD.

    If this trend continue, DVD-HD is going to be in trouble since according to Adult Video News estimates, consumers spent $4.3 billion on purchase or rental of adult video DVDs and videocassettes. And DVD-HD will not get a piece of that pie.

    Umm, no pun intended...

    right, smokeless one?

    Seriously though, I'm sure the adult industry is very interested in utilizing the expanded storage so they can really pack in the Casio soundtrack. That, and seeing Jenna Jamison in hi-def, which isn't an altogether unpleasant prospect.

    I would agree with the Jenna comment, however there are probably 10 as*ses that are not nearly as perfect for each Jenna as*. As it stands, many actor and actresses are not all that thrilled with HD BECAUSE it shows off EVERY flaw. Now with regular resolution, it is not that bad. But I really don't want to see some chicks pock marks on her butt, or some dudes hairy butt in HD.

    And lets be honest. If you cant get it done in the 2-3 hours that would be on HD-DVD, how much LONGER do you need a porno to be? I can see how porn is the biggest market for DVD's, but is storage capacity really that important? When is the last time you sat down and thought to yourself,

    Gosh, I really hope they string this scene on a bit longer until they get to the action. If only it was in HD and 3 hours longer.

    Oooooooo I'm tellin mom, You said T@A and DK online!!!!

    When you are talking about uncompressed video, interactive features, multi-angle, and ooooing and aaaing in DD-HD and Dts HD, then space is VERY important. Keep in mind that DVD-HD has a set storage capacity of 50G. BluRay when taken to its ultimate capacity can be 200G on four layers. Studio's see this as room to grow.

    If you look at length of adult videos, most of them ‘oclock in more than 2 hours (140 minutes to be exact). And with added bonuses you mentioned, length can easily exceed over 3 hours. So I am guessing that 50 gb disc might not be enough to hold 3 to 4 hours of HD material and HD DD/DTS soundtracks-not to mention commentary.

    And I think you told mom because ericl showed up LOL

    Seems...

    ...somewhat appropriate...waybackwhen, probably when most of you were mere hatchlings...video porn was referred to as "blue movies"...
