PS3 Owners Are Watching 'Blu' Movies

There's one factor I've heard mentioned of, on DVD/film sites, the release schedule for HD-DVD has been pretty quiet in January, so the sales have been lower than previous months; it seems most big titles on HD-DVD are already out, with Blu-ray playing catch-up.

It's factors like these that aren't pushed out, alongside such press releases, when someone (oooh, I wonder who?) is trying to big up their new tech...

Even if that's true, it's the fault of those with HD-DVD interests for dropping the ball. Compare the figures again in a few months time and I bet you Blu-Ray is still leading.

Blu-Ray will win the format race because the PS3 is a trojan horse for it. If I've said it once..

The format with the porn will win. Fact.

christ when was the last time anybody worth talkibg to watched porn from disk?

Going back to your average joe consumer again I think there is a huge market for non downloaded porn. Perhaps its unfair as i walk past like 15 sex shops on my way to work everyday, good old midtown manhattan, but id still bet most average middle aged males preffer to have there porn on disk and tucked away from view of the misses. or for those who partake in adult entertainment with there significant others, i dont know that they all have pcs in their bedrooms. It's difficult to look outside the tech bubble most of us occupy but the fact remains that it was only in the last year or two that americans broke the 50% dvd install point. I must have 10 different devices in my house that can play dvds, yet a large chunk of the country is still buying vhs.

Perhaps the people buying porn on disc arent worth talking to, but they are still consumers, and theres probably more of them than there are of us.

I don't know Zazigglebub - judging by the number of seeds I'm getting there's more pervs on bittorrent than anywhere.

You're right, there probably not consumers - they're probably 12 year olds - but don't let anybody tell you porn is going to make or break a console when you can get it for free online.

You can? WHERE?!?

Oh... who am I kidding.

porn is going to make or break a console.

I'm not sur eif your aware but the porn industry (as in all the peopel involved in it that make MONEY) is worth trillions. By the end of this year just the mobile stuff (i.e. for cell phones) is supposed to be movign around 2.7 billion.

Again, yes everyoen on here knows what a torrent is. But we are the minorities. If it was so easy and commonly available the record and film and game industries woudl have crumbled years ago.

Most people buy things, Fact.
____________

VHS had porn.
Betamax did not have porn.
VHS won.

HD-DVD has porn.
Blu-Ray does not.
****** won...

On the subject of porn and consoles...did you know that several porn sites have adjusted their websites for WiiOpera use and that you receive extra "certain" Wiimote functionality when you are on their website...

Does this means the console war is over and the Wii just won? I do agree that porn is a big factor for a format to succeed if the porn is on the format voluntarily and not forced as on the UMD.

Totally simplistic thinking. If it were the case that your average p0rn buyer was going out to Comet (or Walmart, or wherever) to say "hmm, I really need to make a deposit at the spank bank but there are only two possible ways I can do this - the PS3 or Xbox 360!" then you'd be right.

But let's all be honest about this - every guy knows where to find it on the internet and nearly everyone has a PC.

Even if you had a console which didn't play the odd filthy disc, you're not going to run down to buy the other console, you're just going to go upstairs and choke Jabba.

And actually while we're on the subject, if you're the average PS3 buyer you're not going to go into Comet and think..

"Hmm, the PS3 is cooler, everyone wants one, I can play Blu-ray, every publisher is making games for it, it'll last years, it's the most powerful machine out there..

..but I can't watch the p0rn I haven't even bought on it yet, so I'll get a 360 instead and have three separate boxes sitting under my TV."

Wow, did you read any fo the preceedign posts?

First off, that specific quote was a joke based on what the previous perosn said htat I quoted in my response.

Secondly we are discussing blu-ray -v- HDDVD, not 360 -v- PS3. Twit. I never implied pron woudl make or break a console, i implied that it is a huge decided factor in format wars historicly speaking. As for internet porn, I also discussed that so if you care to read go ahead, I'm not gonn waste my time retyping it.

Thanks for your snide comments... ohhh i get it... clever.

No you're right, you didn't imply anything. You literally stated it.



I've helpfully highlighted all the mistakes you managed to make in just one post so you can learn the right spelling for next time.

Naughty LUPOS, looking at too much HD-DVD porn instead of studying! Now go and lose the argument again like a good little boy.

I thought you'd be more concerned about the future of porn schnide!!...... your obviously a w@nker!.... haha

Well, a few days ago I thought I made a lengthy post telling you all what to think on this subject. Must not have went though, or I hit a wrong button or something. Like most of my lengthy posts (when Im sober) I prolly took a few hours revising and rewriting it (usually only to need to edit it immidiately after posting). And I can't remember what all I wrote then. In addition, I'm not feeling as ambitious at the momement. So I'll try to keep this short.

You're all wrong.

'Course those of you who have done nothing but say "hes wrong" are worse than wrong. But thats not the subject of this post.

This post is about the 'format war' (only the second one I'm aware of) and the ps3's contribution to the war effort.

Its big. Really big. Forget the current-gen 'console war' for now, this was the reason for some of the ps3's disadvantages in that conflict. The extra expense and production troubles paid for BluRay having the holy grail of this type of conflict. Installed User Base. Think the snowball at the top of a mountain.

But for all that there are too many factors involved to make ANY snap judgements at this early date. Among them, multi-format players, recordable media, porn, inertia, possible newer formats in the near future...theres prolly more there...

I used to have a horse in this race, but I find that I don't care much at this point, though I'd feel better about the future with HDDVD as I feel Sony would likely want to delay recordable BluRay (if such a thing is even possible, I really don't know) and Sony would likely keep prices high, were they in a position to do so.

I find I'm far more interested in a 20+Gig recordable disc than in who makes it...

Not delayed at all. They are out now and have been for a while now.

Last i checked losing an argument implied that the oposing party presented a better argument. You have simply correct my typos. You should get off the debate team and head on down the hall to the english club. You can use big long words and play with other people dangling participles. It'll be a blast I assure you.

Mate, your mum's calling you down for dinner.

Forget what I said before... your debate skills astound.

Also I don't live with my mum and havent since i was 18... some 8+ years ago. But if assuming I'm just some snotty kid makes you feel better about being wrong than who am I to end your ignorant bliss.
