As if the annoying hi-def format war wasn't already entering the end phase, today's news that adult film studio Digital Playground has decided to abandon HD DVD and stick solely with Blu-ray has to finally hammer a welcome nail in the coffin of this battle. While it was confirmed false that Paramount had dropped HD DVD, a far more crucial loss has occurred -- pornography is considered a crucial key to success in a format war, and HD DVD has lost a big source of those valuable, valuable breasts.
Sony used to have a hardline stance against porn on its formats, but recently allowed Digital Playground to start releasing titles on Blu-ray. This has turned out to be a most prudent move as the supplier of fine adult arts has deemed the success of BD far more important than HD DVD. This leaves the suffering format with just Universal and the aforementioned Paramount.
Unless the new Indiana Jones is turned into a hardcore gangbang session, things aren't looking too good.

If thats not your avatar,then it should be lol
And you don't think there are millions of suckers out there? :-)
For, uhhh, research I have to do for a project, uhhhh....yeah.
And seriously, anyone who buys HD porn is just flat out weird.
Now I can get Cosplay Coatroom Antics on Blu-Ray!
I would have also thought that the Internet would be dwindling sale or porn movies...hrm.
Every rash, wart and STD in crystal clear vision.
Great if you're into that.
Yeah, pr0n is much happier with her new bf, interwebs.
So.... what now?
Personally i prefer a nice low res image of a chick being turned into an airtight vacum, while looking like she is melting and clearly in immediate danger.
I don't want to see the self mutilation scars/needlemarks on drugged up runaways in my mastabatory aides!
Also, who's the chick in the pic?
HD porn is a stupidass idea.
chappelle's show reference ftw.
Like, seriously, I can't stop laughing at that.
So ya, blu-ray getting Porn is not that big of a deal... thought still, it's one less point for HDDVD, and at this point, HDDVD could use every point it can muster... Still, Porn on Blu-ray, no big deal; call me when Paramount or Universal annouce their return support to Blu-ray and their enevitable exclusivity
