Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted January 11, 2007 Global Moderator Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) HD-DVD has porn.. ive already see the video cover for it.. i guess all those porn addicts won't be switching to blu-ray I believe Sony is thinking that they will win this war if they don't allow Porn on blu-ray.. from all the worried parents will then buy a PS3 / Blu-ray player. Well let me tell you Sony.. VERY FEW worried parents will be buying a blu-ray player, just because it doesn't allow porn.

Tomo Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Bye bye Blu-ray! The porn business is huge and can make or break a format, it certainly gave DVD a good boost when that came out!

ahhell Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Porn was a huge part in making VHS a success. Sony can't seem to learn from past mistakes. If I was a shareholder, I would be right ****ed off. Blu-ray is doomed.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted January 11, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 11, 2007 The last thing thats going to make a difference in this race is porn. That man's a fool. The support from the porn industry was one of the deciding factors in the success of VHS over the superior BetaMax format.

Roger H. Veteran Posted January 11, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 11, 2007 yeah, the reason VHS beat BetaMAX was because the porn industry offered their videos on VHS instead of BetaMAX it was in a show i watched the other day (no it wasn't porn :shiftyninja: ) about the history of the porn business (no Ron Jeremy wasn't in it. LOL :D) It was either some BBC show or Discovery/History channel show.

Tomo Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Attention Sony, there is something in this world that is bigger and more powerful than you and thats consumers. The consumers dictate what they want and they want porn!

bangbang023 Veteran Posted January 11, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 11, 2007 But there are more (important) deciding factors in this race apart from porn. That's very debatable. The porn industry is one of the largest when it comes to distributed media and can easily have an impact on the choice of format the consumer makes. I think you're being naive if you don't think it's a major deciding factor in the success of VHS and a considerable strike against Blu-ray.
