The Future of Blu-Ray

The Future of Blu-Ray, originally uploaded by macslost.

Well, according to two stories sent in to Ain't It Cool from AVN (the porn convention that "piggybacks" on CES consumer electronics convention) in Las Vegas each year, the preferred format for porn will be: HD DVD.

Now, before you get all up in my business for posting about porn in Hi-Def like some pervert that felt the money shots needed to be clearer for me on a bigger TV, the porn industry has been a huge factor in deciding the direction of past format wars when it comes to home video (I almost put 'cums' in there, but it was too easy). They were part of the reason that VHS won over Betamax, because it was cheaper to produce.

But according to this story here, it seems that Sony didn't want the dirty-dirty being produced on their precious Blu-Ray. Funny. Didn't Sony come up with Betamax, too? Do we see the trend here?

So, Blu-Ray may be a better quality disc (like Beta was better tape), but it looks like the cost factor may just lose them this battle as well.
