Porn arrives on Blu-Ray - another nail in the HD-DVD coffin

t3.com — It's long been said that whichever hi-def disk format embraced the film industry would win the format war. HD-DVD used to be it, but Sony have decided to allow Blue Blu-Ray movies as well. Combined with the announcement that WB and New Line have switched sides - does HD-DVD still stand a chance?

  • HolyCrapYo, on 01/10/2008, -7/+267High definition porn.. I cannot wait to see razor burns, thigh bruises, damaged hair (dyed), and breast implant scars.
  • MrLazySmurf, on 01/10/2008, -11/+214I don't know about this, Hi-Def porn means that we could see details we don't want to see on pornstars.
  • sofaKing812, on 01/10/2008, -3/+165Who are the people that actually buy porno discs? Seriously, the vast majority of people can get their porno needs fulfilled for free online. You have to be a making baby batter 24/7 or a major collector to invest in a HD porno collection.
  • Pillage, on 01/10/2008, -5/+142Blue-Ray has such a high definition, you can actually see the shame in the actresses eyes.
  • inactive, on 01/10/2008, -7/+132Coming soon: 2 Girls 1 Cup HD!!!
  • estvir, on 01/10/2008, -9/+90> It's long been said that whichever hi-def disk format embraced the film industry would win the format war.

    And it has since been 'proved' that that 'idea' wasn't really true.
  • inactive, on 01/10/2008, -2/+73Don't forget the oh-so-sexy Cesarean scar!!
  • BinaryDelt, on 01/10/2008, -2/+70My buddies and I in college had a projector hooked up pointed at our wall. Image was about 300" diagonally. The following was inevitable:

    Roommate: "Hey, lets put porn on it!"
    Everyone else: "Yeah!!!"
    5 minutes in we turned off the DVD in silence and retired to our rooms, never speaking of the horrors we had just seen again.
  • HappyScrappy, on 01/10/2008, -3/+71Inaccurate. Blu-Ray already had porn.
  • epilonious, on 01/10/2008, -1/+66NObody EVER thinks of the other possibility... 24 hours worth of regular definition content on a single disk.
  • chadillak, on 01/10/2008, -4/+64I watched an HD porno with my gf once. Now she's pregnant with some guy named Captain Stabbin's kid.
  • slayerab, on 01/10/2008, -2/+53The other night I was wondering how the porn industry turned a profit...
  • K00q33m0nsta, on 01/10/2008, -0/+49methinks your buddies went to choke their chicken.
  • kingmanic, on 01/10/2008, -0/+49Both formats have had Porn almost from the start. This is a non story. Actually Beta and VHS both had porn too. The idea porn was a king maker is an urban myth. Forbes places the adult video market at between 750 mil - 1 bil. To give you an idea Broadcast tv is 32 bil in size. Don't over estimate porn.
  • Irfit, on 01/10/2008, -4/+46Please, block this guy.
    Like 50% of his comments are "first".
  • sockpuppets, on 01/10/2008, -3/+45Mom?
  • AlexanderBlue, on 01/10/2008, -1/+40Which reminds me of the article that's also on the front page right now: "Biggest black hole in the cosmos discovered".
  • norman619, on 01/10/2008, -1/+39Please no....
  • p0tent1al, on 01/10/2008, -0/+35The people who aren't smart enough, and that is a multi-million dollar market.
  • Supurcell, on 01/10/2008, -0/+35I think you're forgetting about the older folks who don't know how to use the internet. Where are they going to get their porn?
  • MattB123, on 01/10/2008, -0/+32I'm waiting for it to come out in Smell-O-Vision!
  • HueytheFreeman, on 01/10/2008, -3/+35Dad?
  • xXShadowstormXx, on 01/10/2008, -2/+32Hey guess what guys - porn is on the Internet, too!
  • slayerab, on 01/10/2008, -0/+30Aren't porn companies worried about HD media since it shows everything including the pornstars 'imperfections' (cough cough genital worts)?
  • slightlygifted, on 01/10/2008, -9/+38the hd-dvd coffin is finished. no more nails needed. all it needs is to be buried.
  • N3k74r, on 01/10/2008, -3/+32I hate this "Porn is the deciding factor!" argument in the format conflict, who watches porn on their TV anymore?

    I can type pornography in google and it takes me, about 3 seconds.
  • 0ceanic, on 01/10/2008, -0/+26and as soon as they try to get it online, it breaks their computer.

    and then our generation gets to fix it for them.
  • treed, on 01/10/2008, -0/+25By charging the suckers who buy their DVDs more than Hollywood DVDs, after spending $2000 to pay the "actors".
  • pyxopotamus, on 01/10/2008, -1/+25I've rented porn before (ohhh so sticky yum) just because I was there and it was only $2 a day. Ultimately, though, I'm happy with my free hi-res pictures and passable videos. Paying for stuff is so 1990.
  • djbon2112, on 01/10/2008, -6/+30No matter how much I tried, I read the last word in your post as "dick" about 3 times. I think I have issues :(
  • crispee, on 01/10/2008, -1/+24Maybe we will return to the days of finding natural beauty beautiful?
  • renegadeafk, on 01/10/2008, -0/+23uh...
  • Ndiggnation, on 01/10/2008, -1/+23I read somewhere that it's not uncommon for porn starts to get some various kinds of plastic/cosmetic surgery done because of HD filming..
  • Wrathernaut, on 01/10/2008, -2/+24Or we can hope that they're more discriminating of future porn stars.
  • OBKenobi, on 01/10/2008, -0/+21Mmmm. Giant HD penises (1080penis) flapping in our faces. Just what everyone's been waiting for. This is what the culmination of all of mankind's scientific progress has finally led us to; the promised land.

    I hope whoever is filming HD pr(0)n has enough sense not to zoom in on the male genitalia. HD pron is going to call for new rules, new cinematography.
  • lexington86, on 01/10/2008, -1/+21*Continues to wait for there to be only one format...*
  • epilonious, on 01/10/2008, -1/+21But, porn seems to be all about the over-estimation...
  • kingmanic, on 01/10/2008, -0/+20Niche porn may be hard to find on torrents and P2P. Low quality snippets may prompt some to pay for HD versions.
  • lucutus, on 01/10/2008, -2/+22Ok then; Who Blu Ray?
  • tidu, on 01/10/2008, -0/+19$2000? I didn't get half.... nevermind.
  • MxM111, on 01/10/2008, -0/+19There is also CGI and post-processing ...
  • inactive, on 01/10/2008, -1/+19you last three seconds?
    they make medicine for that, you know.
  • inactive, on 01/10/2008, -2/+20If it takes you 3 seconds, then that is the reason why you are stuck NEEDING porn in the first place.
  • RevJonathan, on 01/10/2008, -0/+18That's no moon...
  • kingmanic, on 01/10/2008, -1/+19Lighting, angles, and make up can do wonders. However it may drive for more natural looking actors (the term actor is officially gender neutral). I wouldn't mind. The artificial women in mainstream porn don't do anything for me.
  • inactive, on 01/10/2008, -2/+19Nope... your girlfriend is going to be exited about THIS!
  • Tenoq, on 01/10/2008, -2/+19It's also a CD player!
  • CrimsonFate, on 01/10/2008, -1/+17Coming to grips w/ your sexuality in a prejudice world is always daunting.
  • bot001220, on 01/11/2008, -0/+16Well if Robocop says it's true...
  • mywhitenoise, on 01/10/2008, -3/+18oh okay, so Kermit gets over a thousand diggs for jerking it to 2girls1cup, but I get -4? ***** YOU DIGG!!!!
