Japanese porn industry goes with Blu-ray

Blu-ray - Image 1While HD-DVD may be the format of choice for most members of the U.S. porn industry, recent events have shown that support for the Blu-ray format is starting to grow. In Japan, meanwhile, adult film makers have already made a decisive choice to go with Blu-ray.

According to PC World, movie makers revealed during the Adult Treasure Expo 2007 in Chiba, Japan, that Sony has started offering more technical support to Japan's adult film industry. Right now, there are ten Japanese adult movies on Blu-ray compared to only one on HD-DVD.

Major reasons for the decision seems to be both price and the Blu-ray-equipped Sony PlayStation 3. HD-DVD movies cost more than Blu-ray movies in Japan, partly due to HD-DVD movies being bundled with DVD versions as well. Sony's strong presence in the Japanese gaming industry also seems to have played a major role.

Despite this, Sony has stated that its policy of not allowing Sony DADC Global, the company's disc replicating subsidiary, to copy adult films has not changed. A Sony spokeswoman, however, said that the company will offer technical support to any film makers no matter what industry.

Thanks to Bj for the news tip!

Wow

Yeah. Porn = win. Not so much for the UMD but Blu-Ray Porn. It's a sad day for HD-DVD

Same Claim for UMD

Yeah the same speech was given for the UMD format...and it died. Blue ray will still probably win because it's not the same battlefield anyway.

My two cents

I own a PS3 (in addition to a 360) and so my allegiances (as far as the format war is concerned) lie with Blu-ray. While earlier moves by Blockbuster (exclusive Blu-ray in-store), Woolworths, BJs, Target (Blu-ray end-caps), among other moves, will affect the Blu-ray futures positively, I personally don't think this move by Jap porn will affect the Blu-ray futures significantly. The reason why I think this is because nowadays porn over the Internet offers the twin features of convenience (available at-home through the Net) and anonymity (don't have to buy them through a store), and very few people would probably prefer the inconvenience and (perceived) threat to loss of privacy by trying to get a physical on-disc copy. Personally, this generation I don't think it makes any difference as to which side porn chooses - Blu-ray or HD-DVD. My two cents. Feel free to point out any mistakes I might have made. :)

woohoo!

Now we can go buy bukkake schoolgirls 4 on Blu-Ray! Life is good! Now if the american porn industry adopts BD as their format i would say that BD won with 100% certainty(sp?) I mean look at VHS v.s. Betamax
by - 2007-07-30 13:28:23
your asumption is correct.

PORN deciding the winner of this format was based purely on HD DVD enthusiasts. Some how these guys forgot that Porn now is not the porn of our fathers back in the days of VHS. DVD had somewhat of an impact but the internet has changed the face of porn forever. Besides who wants porn in high def, there are only so herpie scars one can look at.

LMFAO!

Bukkake is sick! :S Bakunyuu FTW :D! ^^ Japan has the largest Pr0n industry, so it's a possibility.

Well thats obvious really, UMD is restricted to PSP, there are no UMD players that let you watch vids on your TV. Can't compare UMD with Blu-ray//HD-DVD

Nice. Let's hope western porn industry follow suit. This will surely help blu-ray win the format war.
by Shatterdome - 2007-07-30 20:35:55
Well...

It's about 50/50 now, you have to update your porn collection if they are all hairy...because many are shaved these days... It's funny how porn will help decide a format.....1080P Pussay....can't wait...
by - 2007-07-30 22:05:10
so true

I'd rather just download porn for free, especially since the majority of porn sucks.
by - 2007-07-30 23:05:58
ok

yeah.....japanese porn is censored bull***** this clearly proves that blueray is dead- sony the antiporn company is aiding porn makers in how to use blueray- wow...it is that bad that sony has compromised it principles of anti porn to try to get sales....wow...what the ***** and btw...the american/real porn industry has chosen hd dvd..... ever seen a chinese kid take a ***** in the street....i did ...it was funny ....he just squatted and ***** right in the middle of the street....the bus I was on almost hit him.....but when you gotta go you gotta go so .....sony.....well,well....the ***** has come home to roost,eh.........hopefully you will get some sales....... I really feel badly for sony in one sense,....because I think they really have/are trying to do the best they can do.....but *****....they should be/are Shinto/Buddhist........damn....karma? I mean all they did was ***** talk nintendo....like remember that report where the ceo was like ninteno is a bunch of goat headed pig *****ers and the wii is just a glorified dildo? i do.....think it got two jumps.... ...anywho....it is one thing if they were nice or did not talk *****.......xbox....not a lot of ***** talking there.....nintendo....not a lot there either....both companies just talk up their *****.....sony talks ***** on both of them though....damn....it is like God/ Buddha/ Allah/ whatever (maybe swirling gasses for you Atheists:-) ) came down on their ass with aids in a diarrhea douche milkshake and gave it to em via a cathader.... which reminds me ...who misses the x files.. BTW to all who read in America......about the voting system....I mean,..I understand in the infancy of this country due to logistical reasons it was decided by our forefathers that we would use an electoral system of voter ballot counting where each state would be responsible for counting its voters ballots and would in turn report who won in each state to our capitol who would in turn see who won the whole vote by sorting the winners of the most states votes (bigger states=more votes). That makes sense. It would have been very hard to count every individual vote and tally them together. Now however, times and communications systems have changed. it is very possible and dare I say would be easy to count every ballot of every voter to see who the truly more popular candidate would be. It is so easy in fact , that the US government already does it! What is baffling is why, if we truly know who the majority of the voters have voted for we do not use this to elect our president. Why still use the archaic and no unnecessary method of the Electoral voting system. Furthermore why is there hardly anyone who asks these questions and challenges our old system. It is no secret that Gore won the last election by popular vote but lost by electoral. That means the majority of the bigger states wanted bush, while the majority of the citizens of the united states of America wanted Gore. Why the hell is bush in office then? On the recent democratic debates on CNN i heard several of the candidates make jokes or comments eluding to this, stating that America really voted in a democratic president. If they all feel this way, then why doesn't any of them have the stones to say we need a change the way our election outcomes are determined...maybe because they are all cowards. Peace

lol

whatever is a very angry person. Anyhow, official porn support for BD? GG as soon as Universal decides to produce for both BD AND HD-DVDs. That'll be the day. Oh, and for those who don't know, announcements about TV's going digital as a mandatory medium will be made this coming holiday or the next year. SO...those who watch TV will have to convert as no stations will be sending analog signals. HDTV will be a standard in a couple of years, and so you will have to chose a medium: BD or HD-DVDs. Yes...next, the government needs to invest money into broadband as a standard for every household and the US can finally catch up to developing countries like Brazil...or technically advanced countries like Japan or Korea. Long live Jap porn and their unshaved--

Wow

I can't believe this this is so cool. Wow i guess i was wrong PS3 is going to beat my xbox :sad:
by Stealth! - 2007-07-31 07:05:19
Shatterdome

What are you talking about. It depends on what genre of porn you get. Japan likes hairy crotches so does Asia but thats there culture only in America i believe that women save. It depnds on what you like, there is porn for every type of person, considering porn is one of the biggest if no the biggest Adult entertainment around the world. Me personally i don't mind either or but this just shows you the benefit for having Blu-ray. Besides why do we have to update our collection
by Stealth! - 2007-07-31 07:16:51
Jx1

Same can be said for any type of porn. Hentai another Japan porn vids are also very bog. I mean Japan makes one hell of stuff. Which is why i like japan. But you disliking Bukkake doesn't matter since there is just as much if not more people who likes it.
by Stealth! - 2007-07-31 07:19:21
Are you kidding me

You guys do realize that PS3 is a universal System. Which means you can buy any game, any BD from anywhere around the world and play it on your PS3 no matter where you got the system. Wow and some claim to know about the PS3.
by Stealth! - 2007-07-31 07:21:30
Um no

Actually Sony doesn't mind porn moron, it only cares if they're in Videogames. You do realize that Sony Supports it.
by - 2007-07-31 08:29:59
to stealth

yeah it seems some(you stealth) know nothing about ps3. i didnt know that US ps3 have the same region code as japan does. but i do know that BD movies still have region coding. baka ps3 can play all games region free.
by - 2007-07-31 11:20:07
To whatever

Hi whatever, You seem to be willing to go considerable lengths just to bash Sony. I mean, spinning another additional avenue supporting Blu-ray as something negative. Your comment reeks of desperation about something, my friend. As to your comment on the Americal electoral system, I agree that this could use some change. However, the way things are going right now, if they change something now (esp the current Republican administration, although it can be argued that both Republicans and Democrats are birds of the same feather), it will probably be for the worse rather than improving the system. Regards, MTK
