Up until now there has been continued speculation as to who will win this war? There is comparison of capacity, performance, features, etc. Once again it seems Sony is its own worst enemy.

With flash backs to the beta max and VHS days it seems the deciding vote has happened without anyone but Sony deciding. What decided the format war so many years ago? Porn, thats right folks. The porn industry picked up the VHS format and ran with it and basically decided the bm fate!

Well it would appear that the same thing is going to happen again. Sony says they will not allow any X rated movies be released on blu-ray. So one of the leaders in the adult industry (Digital Playground) will be using HD-DVD. With the assumption that the other adult movie leaders follow suit (like they have any choice) since no blu-ray manufacture will produce the disc. This is because Sony has threatened to pull any manufactures licensing if the produce X content.

This is about if you are for or against the porn industry, it is an BIG money maker in the world and will just like so many years ago drive where the technology goes. Heck they were the leaders in on-line payment via the web. They solidified the VHS war. This too shall put the stamp of blu-ray.

Nice job Sony. Now you can have those stacks of blu-ray disc sitting next to the stacks of PS3 in all those stores collecting dust.
