Format Wars: Adult Film industry chooses HD-DVD over Blu-ray
Published by freshdv January 12th, 2007 in Formats, News, Post-ProductionSlashdot has an article and discussion on the Adult Film industry favoring HD-DVD over Blu-ray for the distribution of high-definition content.
Digital Playground, who were committed to Blu-ray last year, are now producing HD-DVD titles instead. No Blu-ray disk manufacturer would make their disks because Sony doesn’t want porn on Blu-ray (just as with Betamax). Second, as reported by tgdaily, the porn industry overwhelmingly favors HD-DVD because it’s much cheaper and easier to produce.
It is commonly reported that the XXX Video industry was a major factor in the last big format war, when VHS format was chosen over Betamax. Regardless of your moral and ethical stance on Adult Films, it cannot be denied that it is a huge industry that wields a fair amount of clout and tends to drive new tech adoption. This is pretty good news for HD-DVD, even if they were hacked just recently.

I am glad that blu-ray won the format war because it looks better and holds more data than HD did.
A blu ray has a bit more data thats true
