It’s a special post for this Saturday in case you missed it.
The biggest producer of HD-DVD adult movies, Digital Playground, will distribute it’s Pirates movie in Blu-Ray. Pirates is available on HD-DVD($49.95) with a in 720P transfer but will be in 1080P on Blu-Ray($54.95). The price is little higher even if it’s a new production line but the HD-DVD version was made much earlier. It’s only $5 more but with a better video quality.
My opinion has not changed and Blu-Ray will win because of the content despite it’s slightly higher price on hardware. Warner may decide to tip the balance if they decide to go with one format. In the case of the adult movie industry, it will not be the same impact like in the days of the format war of Beta vs VHS.
Still, it’s a good news for the Blu-Ray camp that the studio decided to go with both format. The sales of HD-DVD may be much lower than expected for the studio thus willing to expand it’s market. Also, the average age of Playstation 3 owners on many polls, all of them show that adults(18+) are in the majority. With the new $400 PS3 model that showed that it can play movies too, their target audience is growing in millions. Plus, Blu-Ray media sales beat HD-DVD in many reports.
But, it’s not an excuse to turn your “junk” Blu
