Looks like HD-DVD gets out there first in the last week of March and Blu Ray comes out in June. I, for one, am eager to see this develop.

Looks like the porn industry is too. Better format, better future, less interference from DRM people

If the porn industry is for it, it'll certainly come out on top. ;D

entendre ?

Or do you mean pun intended? Seriously though, with Beta vs. VHS, the adult industry chose VHS and look what happened with that. The adult industry also adopted dvd's early on and look at how well they've done with that format as well. Unlike the rest of the film community, the adult industry has been doing banging...err...booming business.

One thing that the porn industry started with DVD was the multiple angle feature. I was hoping that more DVD would have this feature. Especially concert DVD and the like. How cool would it be to be able to watch a concert and pick with musician you want to watch. Ahh well maybe they'll do it with Blu-Ray

Yup - I've heard this before. By entendre I mean "come" and "on top". We are prolly saying the same thing.

I would sure hate to have the powers that be preclude me from using a 50gb per disk storage medium . . . .

Check out the following! I'm all for either to make it. It will still be a long time though. Not as breakthrough as CD or DVD was.
