Ah Blu-Ray. Have you learned nothing in your brief time on the planet? Nothing from, say, Betamax? Apparently not.
According to certain sources the Blu-Ray consortium is taking a stand against smut, certainly endearing themselves to large populations of conservatives. No porn on Blu-Ray. Ignore the assertions that porn drives the uptake of consumer devices, we don’t want none of them titties on our high def disks!
Those liberals in the HD-DVD consortium have no such moral code driving them so titles are already showing up in high def on their equipment. For better or for worse, really. I imagine the tolerances on adult actors and actresses will need to be made a bit more stringent given the level of detail available in both formats. I certainly don’t think I could handle Ron Jeremy in 1080p. I vomit a bit at thumbnail sized Ron Jeremy, seeing him in all his furry, rounded glory would almost certainly unhinge me.
Anyway, we’ll see who is around in 2 years.

Its, to see the power of the porn industry, that being said I do not think its accidental that CES is right next door to the adult entertainment fair! I don’t think that Blu-Ray will die off that quickly especially considering the fact that Sony has got one of the biggest film libraries (Columbia, Tri-Star, Sony and MGM) I think that in the end the best option will be to buy a dual player, if they put down the price. LG just announced a player like this check it out!
