“Executives in the adult-film industry spoke Wednesday during the opening day of the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo 2008, which briefly overlaps with the more mainstream Consumer Electronics Show ending Thursday,” Albanesius reports.
“‘It could be a real sign that things will shift,’ Jeff Thill, director of video operations for the Hustler Video Group, said about the Warner decision. Thill said he sees no advantage of one format over the other, but is “leaning Blu-Ray” after Warner’s announcement,” Albanesius reports.
“Hustler had some success recently with the Blu-ray release of Jenna Haze Oil Orgy, said Thill, who was on hand to showcase Hustler’s latest releases at the annual AVN Adult Entertainment Expo,” Albanesius reports.
“Vivid Entertainment, home to porn star Jenna Jameson, has also released videos on Blu-ray and HD, said David Peskin, Vivid’s national sales manager. It currently has two Blu-ray titles and three HD DVD titles on the shelves,” Albanesius reports. “Vivid was initially ‘conservative’ with its high-definition re-order numbers, but is ‘starting to stock a little heavier’ since sales have been promising, Peskin said. Vivid has seen Blu-ray sell more units online while HD does better in retail stores, he said.”
Albert Lazarito, vice president of Silver Sinema, [and] Kim Kysar, Pink Visual’s director of marketing, both expressed concerns about how much the camera would capture in high-definition… ‘Imperfections are modified,’ Lazarito said.”

$40 for a high def DVD, be it porn or normal movie, is too much.
$20 maybe, but $40, forget it.
I bought a $99 HDDVD player for it’s upscaling ability. I had no intentions of buying any HDdvds.
Blue ray or Hd dvd, those Peter North cumshots will look the same. Just make sure you take cover.
LOL at MDN’s attribution remarks! Come, come now.
Ampar: the close watcher of (the) porn (industry)!
To El Guapo: It was hard not to notice this stroke of luck if they go Blu-ray.
Blu-Ray: I needed the money……
…with apologies to Dice Clay.
Does this tie into the latest “Joy of Tech” somehow?
“Jenna Haze Oil Orgy”
This cinematic masterpiece has completely redefined the expression, “up for an Oscar”.
At my local BJ’s all the sell is Blu-Ray…….(sorry I had to)
Just my $0.02
Blu vs HD. Glad to see someone mountng a bare probing inquiry.
One that indelicately penetrates the differences aroused by data density heft, and the turgor of manufacturer claim.
I could go on……
Amp
Will it be on “Master Piece The Ate Her”?
“I could go on……”
Braggart!
(I usually need a nap first.)

…putting the blue back into blu-ray…
If porn goes Blu-Ray, HD-DVD is dead.
“Alea Jacta Est” – Julius Caesar
TT: Yes, as well as the McLickloin Grope. Pat Buchanan has a cameo.
Hallelujah! I guess this brings new meaning to the term “blue movies.”
There. I feel better now.
So, it’s true. The floppy disk is finally dead.
Good to see Left and Right can agree on porn.
“I come on bended knee, with open arms, to shout to the world ‘Let us come together with a mandate to caucus the uptight. To open new channels, and shine a light on this need, as we spread our notion of piece across this great bed, er, nation.’ Thank you, and God Bless A Mary Kate!”
Blu-Ray still the best name, especially for “blue” movies. However, I am not sure that we need to see porn star bad skin in hi-def
I’m going to point my flat panel out toward the back yard so Alisha Klass can water my lawn.
I have heard (from the friend of a vague acquaintance) that most porn sites these days offer downloads in iPod format, so all Apple has to do is offer a range of iPods with screen sizes of at least 9″ and they can put Blu Ray out of business as well.
@Ampar – “It was hard not to notice this stroke of luck . . .”
Too much stroking is detrimental to ocular well-being.
get it together man!
the floppy has been dead for at least 3 weeks
I had nothing to add to my last post until I saw that the magic word was morning (as in glory), so I had to just rise to the occasion once more.:p
