Adult Studio Picks Blu-ray
You knew it was going to happen. There were already been pornographic titles announced for HD-DVD at CES, but Xbiz reports Digital Playground is the first adult film studio to publicly align itself with one of the next-generation disc formats - and they’ve picked Blu-ray.
Digital Playground, like many companies, realizes Blu-ray and HD-DVD are so similar and choosing between them hasn’t been simple. Ultimately, though, the promised install base from PlayStation 3 and Blu-ray’s security functions won them over. “They’e pretty similar in every other way,” Digital Playground co-founder Joone said. “We went with Blu-ray because storage and security are the main issues for us.”
Even Microsoft has said they may release a Blu-ray adaptor for Xbox 360 if the format prevails. They’re already planning an external HD-DVD disc drive for release later this year, though they haven’t nailed down any specifics since their announcement at CES.
