Looks like HD-DVD is gonna win.

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Considering that I didn't even own a DVD player until, oh, 2001, I don't reckon I'll be in the market any time soon.

I bought my first DVD player 3 months ago.

Well, that was settled the moment Sony refused to let porn use Blu-Ray. That's exactly the same decision that killed BetaMax, after all.

So are you saying that Walmart supports the porn industry?

More inadvertently enabling it, really. But I'm sure there'll be a fair amount of HD porn watched on those affordable HD players they're pushing for, regardless.

I saw an interview somewhere that talk about how the porn industry wasn't real excited to get into the whole HD/Blue Ray market.

From what they said everything was so clear and the picture was so good that many of the imperfections the girls had were more noticeable and it was harder to make the women look hot.

Some of the stars were really upset about it.

Intriguing. Perhaps between that and delivery of porn through the internet on the rise in comparison to VCR/DVD, maybe on this round of technology the influence of the porn industy is on the decrease.

When some form of holography or multi-sensory virtual reality (a la Strange Days) comes on the market, if there are competing standards I guarantee that the one that allows porn on their format will win. No doubt about it.

So internet video porn is superior because of the poor quality?

Internet porn is superior because you don't have to go to a shop in a shady part of town w/ sticky floors and drug addict prostitutes to get it.
