The format drama continues! Adult video maker Digital Playground initially picked HD DVD for its new format, but now is supporting both HD DVD and Blu-ray "until there is a clear-cut winner," says company founder Joone. This February will see eight Digital Playground titles on Blu-ray. What caused the change of heart? Says Joone:
A lot of people were emailing that bought a PlayStation and they were basically saying, 'When are you guys going to release Blu-ray?' They really have no preference in format yet because it's so new. When it comes down to image quality, there is no difference between the two.
Try telling that to film director Michael Bay.

awesome cover
I can see it now. Masturbating to high def porn seeing all the wrinkle and cracks on the faces. The make up so detailed it looks wrong. AH.. yes i'm now officially turned off.
Ohh yea if its Pirates where is Crecente on the cover?
Finally! A real reason for me to buy a PS3!
HD porn!!
with HiDef pores and plastic surgery lines!!!
@mongerking: Damn you for stealing my comment! Sigh...I'm always too slow for the predictable comments.
But does this mean that the porn industry no longer serves as a reliable indicator of the future mainstream media format? The horror!
Digital Playground = Hollywood of porn. Joone = Speilburg (or however you spell it) of porn. Digital Playground titles sells like hotcakes =-X
@FeendRendor:
*pat pat* Get them next time tiger, *gentle fist to jaw*
I don't understand the obsession over high definition. I don't need to magnify down to the molecule in order to get the blurred action sequences or jist of the story.
And as for porn, everyone just gets extremely low definition for free off the internet, does their business and moves on. If you need high definition, there's something wrong with you.
i'm interested
"When it comes down to image quality, there is no difference between the two."
Preach it brother! Hi-def porn is hi-def porn. Blu-ray and HD DVD are basically the same shit to me too.
My girlfriend made me watch that one. She loves one of the principle actresses in it. It was a good mix of erotic and downright stupidly funny.
That's cool, but wasn't the main hurdle for porn on the format Disney?
It'll only work if they can both co-exist peacefully. DVD did it, Blu-ray can too.
*gasp!* ooh! i LOVE that movie! great story!
"She loves one of the principle actresses in it." Who, Jesse Jane?
@FeendRendor:
It's ok, we can share it!
I watched the edited version of Pirates one night at a friend's house. Alcohol was the only thing that got us to make it through the first 30 minutes before we finally fast forwarded through the rest of the "film". We then watched the unedited version. Either way both are a strong case for why porn shouldn't have a story. I think the Blu-ray and HD versions will be a good case for why porn shouldn't be in high definition. The "stars" of the "film" already look plastic and greasy enough on regular DVD.
@mechis: Amen brother. I never could watch more than 7 or 8 minutes of porn at a time...well, maybe on a good night...
Hmm. The BD-PSP download thing makes this announcement very interesting.
told you, tis the video games done made me a pornaholic.
@slomo788:
........................i tottally forgot about that for a min, YES!! MOBILE PORN!!!!!!!
How much does this sell for? I wanna check out some HD porn.
I dunno if you would want HD porn, some things are better left blurred!
@EnigmaNemesis: lavias and flavias, flip flaps
@ticalmc2k2:
Are you absolutely sure?
Believe it or not, Porn was very big in choosing VCR over betamax.
Though honestly, I think most of us have already chosen our format of choice for porn. Divx ;)
@EnigmaNemesis: Yeah, I'm with you on this. Porn 'stars' are butt fulgy.
We'll totally be able to see the implant scars now, btw.
@GregoriusH:
Yeah just to try it once. I'm not saying I'd like it, but I wanna be sure.
This movie was great. I cant believe i said that. But it is true. After downloading it and watching it i was shocked . I give it an 8 out of 10. Now i have to see it on blu-ray. Hope it is good. Maybe too much detail. Ladies u bette hide dem scars.
Are you sure the "D.P" on the cover stands for "Digital Playground"?
no , its double penetration but digital playground is only for the mainstream news.
btw , i saw this movie and it sucks!
People still pay for porn?
ah correction. Blu-ray offers better video codecs for slighty better image...but nothing the average consumer will notice or care about.
"When it comes down to image quality, there is no difference between the two."
The heck? The Porn Studios are Flame-Baiting now?
3 Discs? What the hell would be on the other two?!?
You guys are missing the point here, with the new ability of the PSP to rip blu ray movies, this means HI DEF pronz anywhere!!! Man Sony's just been in a roll, now all they have to do is fulfill in most of their promises and I'll be happy.
i havnt seen very many porns that wernt strictly hardcore, but Pirates must have had the highest production values i'v ever seen in an erotic film
Pirates also has absolutely loathsome acting (except by Evan Stone), and ridiculously grainy picture quality for an HD title. Still, the costumes and sets are nice.
@djricekcn: I think it was Jesse Jane, yeah. She said she'd seen other porns by her and liked her. Who was I to argue? :)
Does it support the Trance Vibrator? It should.
Wellity, wellity... seems that Blu-Ray for the porn's attention HD PR0N EVERYWHERE!
Life is getting better...lol :)
Internet, VHS and DVD have evolved by porn.
Hmm, while I can't get too excited about seeing porn in HD (or porn in general) you gotta figure, the next step has to be 3D porn, which is something to marvel over.
Eep! That sentence was supposed to read (or HD in general) not (or porn in general).
I'm sure y'all will get some lulz from that seemingly Freudian slip though.
I was pretty sure that blu-ray/sony wern't going to allow porno on their format, mabye they changed their minds, it is a lucrative market
Hey! We were just talking about that particular porno. It's on my 'to-watch' list, along with 'Pan's Labyrinth' and 'Ratatouille.'
Well at least they finally responded to my emails
There is only one scene that I would be interested in on BD. For those who have seen this movie already, its the scene with Jenaveve Jolie and Carmen Luvana :). Other than that I didn't find the movie interesting.
I heard that movie has some killer lesbian scenes. I haven't seen them though, so I don't know. Seriously, no joking. Maybe I'll confirm that later though...
Oh and really, who needs HD pr0n on HD-DVD or Blu-Ray when you can get HD pr0n on the internet already?
i hadn't watched a dirty movie in over 20yrs, so i downloaded the hi-def wmv version of this 'pirates' movie, not much on story or plot, but man can that short little good looking blonde chick swallow a rooster....
Ah Pirates! Me and the misses love that movie, good stuff. This isn't terribly good news for HD-DVD, but DP is one of the bigger folks who could afford the cost on this, although at this point anyone who even buys porn owns that movie.
360 owners still have the edge with DOA Volleyball.
I've said this over and over, yet it still needs to be said: people actually buy porn?
@djricekcn: Yeah their like the xbox360 of the adult Biz. LOL
Pirates sure is something... some great corny lines.
The "high def wrinkles and razor stubble" is getting old and doesn't hold water. There really are beautiful people on this planet, contrary to what you may have experienced, in real life and even high definition video.
@El-Taco:
well, considering how it was the most expensive adult movie ever made and had all this "high production value" and even some decent CG effects, the discs are behind the scenes or making of stuff..
...which any making-of material for a porn could be, well, interesting...maybe..
Holy crap, I remember the uproar near me when it was revealed that it was filmed on the fake HMS Bounty tourist trap. Of couse they filmed the pornographic scenes somewhere else and the film became porn because of a need for money, but you can't talk to self-righteous parents, can you?
What the hell do they put on three discs though? Deleted scenes? Extended scenes? More porn in general? I want to see bloopers and cast commentary.
is really good idea for hd pron???? stretch marks, really over inflated lips??? makeup only works so much!!!!
@taomaster99: all of that exists in hollywood just as much. If they've found a way to cover it up for the silver screen, I'm sure they could for porn.
uh... hooray?
@EnigmaNemesis: like looking at anerxious junkies? Or so the porn I've seen thats what they look like :P.
(hell I even thought the guys were ugly )
