Naughty Movies Make Their Way To Blu-Ray

Los Angeles (dBTechno) - Sony appears to be giving into demand asking for pornograpny content to be released on blu-ray.

Previously, the company has said that no porn will be released on the new discs.

The Adult Treasure Expo 2007 in Chiba, Japan drew a substantial audience — most of whom who were looking for high-definition porn which in the past was only been available on the HD-DVD format.

“In Japan, there are some problems. Companies cannot press Blu-ray discs because they cannot touch adult-related contracts,” Kiyotaka Konno, director of administration at Assist, a Japanese company that authors and replicates DVDs for the adult industry in Japan, told IDG News.

“So we asked some makers in Taiwan to do the work, and then we import the discs back to Japan. The Taiwanese company was able to obtain a pressing machine from Sony and will start mass production in August.”

However, some industry insiders believe that the move is too late.

Blu-ray has already lost the market for the pornography industry in the United States, with most producers standardising on the HD DVD format, as it is cheaper to use.

Many still believe that porn was the deciding factor in the past war between Betamax and VHS.
