Article from L.A. times today concerning the competition between these formats and the influence porn has over the outcome. If for nothing else, the article is good for this passage: "During those hushed meetings with the producers, HD DVD and Blu-ray promoters insisted on secrecy as they touted the features of their respective formats. Each was sensitive to concerns specific to adult entertainment, such as how to edit out the surgical scars that would otherwise be far too visible."



I've seen plenty of nasty implant scars on SD (regular DVD) that nobody seems to want edited out so what's the big deal? As far as the format war is concerned, HD DVD is losing big time from the looks of it. There are few companies exclusive to the format and their content has been minimal of late while Blu-Ray titles have been selling better and offering a broader range of releases. Porn isn't likely to be a player this time around either since increasing numbers of people simply download for free.
