Adult studio Digital Playground drops HD-DVD

This was rumored to happen soon last week.

About a couple dozen titles were released on HD DVD from the studio, making it the leader in high-def adult entertainment. The lucrative industry has been deemed one of the most important factors in determining the success of a new format.

This is the point I was making earlier on about this format. The damage has already been done to Toshiba. And it does not seem to be improving despite all the price drops and such.

If they wave the white flag now, they wont loose as much as to if they continue pursuing that pointless dream of winning the already won format war.

[HD DVD]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!! !

[YoMeViet]

ah bai bai HD-DVD, even porn is abandoning you, R.I.P. you will not be missed.

[Ashta]

Venomous: The 1990's and the tons of Microsoft monopoly lawsuits and worldwide anti-trust trials against Microsoft would love to have a word with you.

[xplosneer]

You might want to talk to DVD then, or VHS, or the many other succeeding formats in history. At least you have the choice of Digital Downloads.

[Antiomo]

Dont you find it contradicting........ I think introducing 2 formats actually reduce the choice.

As an early adopter.... I can say that equipment is expensive and media is expensive. Meaning As a consume I like many others have already chosen the format. If the market remains split up...... then I will have no choice to purchase BOTH formats if I wanted to watch all the hd media. Sorry the world is turning blu and I we will have more movies to watch in hd than ever than before.

[whateva]

I guess they like playing follow the leader.

[Maddens Raiders]

no, they like playing, "show me the money".

[beoulve]

so that it die faster, and we can just go with one format.

this war is over

dude, that is by far the funniest video I have seen in quite a long, long time. Bubbles just for making me aware of its existence. Fkn incredible.

"Blades of Glory!!??? Are you fking kidding me!!???" - classic.

[Why o why]

lol

[LOFT316]

That was funny as f*ck
thanks wood

[nicholascage24]

That video is indeed funny

[akaFullMetal]

hilarious, also loved the one about the 360

[Apocwhen]

It even brings the meaning back into Blu Movies :)

[Tractorfactory]

blu-ray players will not sell in large numbers like hd dvd will because they are too expensive and the name is confusing, i don't regard the PS3 as being "large numbers" because they haven't sold many or ever will! and those who do buy ps3 don't all buy blu-ray films. Keep plugging away toshiba the tide will turn in your favor.

[marinelife9]

I don't know what to say to that.

[Maddens Raiders]

is demonstrating extreme sarcasm, marinelife. lol

-- Oh, nevermind (#8) -- I now see that he really is serious.

I can't blame him though, someone with a name like "tractorfactory", and defending the breakbox, should be given a little slack. :P

[LOFT316]

In english please

[DarkSniper]

HD-DVD has now replaced Betamax and Laser Disc as the complete joke of the format industry. It's no coincidence that Microsoft is affiliated with HD-DVD in it's conjunction with Toshiba as Microsoft is the joke of the game console industry.

$niper

[Tractorfactory]

MS has sold twice as many xbox360 as ps3's and thats no joke, but i tell you what is a joke' sony had betamax and UMD and minidisc. LOL

[Ashta]

Well, Beta was still the standard in Television up until 2002 and that was like 20+ years after it was deemed a "failure" for home consumer films.

The UMD is not dead considering it is the format for which all PSP games are made for and the PSP is hardly close to death as a handheld. It too was only viable as a private use format instead for commercial films.

Mini-disc? Yeah, that bombed.

However, with HD-DVD it has no viable place in the future market; private, public, or otherwise. The majority of the PC world is switching to Blu-ray drives considering the BD-writable drives penetrated the market well before the HD-DVD drives did, and Apple has fully jumped on board by joining the BDA.

HVD will msot likely take the role of corporate storage data disc and be used for high profile media productions for big corporate and Hollywood productions in regards to the "behind-the-scenes" digital media format. Hell, the corporate world and the Government areas have loved that one.

Blu-Ray will take over as the HD media optical format of choice for a long time to succeed DVD. Hollywood obviously wants that, The sales of all BD movies show that, and apparently most of the internet and the technical world wants that if you gauge the reaction after Warner's move.

HD-DVD will go by the wayside, but your attempt at a parallel by saying Sony has failed numerous times....well...thats technically incorrect as you can see above.

[mighty_douche]

Another day, another studio....

id say about 2 mkore week and that should be the end of these "gaming" related threads. YAY!!

[Bladestar]

ohh wow... I honesly didn't know you guys were so into porno...
I know they say that most gamers don't have a life and can't get girls... but is it that important that your format of choice will get this content?

It's kind of funny that one can tell who's a hormball and can't get layed by looking at the comments... (blu-ray happy comments)...

Seriously don't you find disturbing seing pubic hair and the whole 9 yard in HD?

[mighty_douche]

dude, i have a girlfriend. But i still have ALOT of porn.

Still, i dont get excited by "porn" news, mines torrent through and through.

[marinelife9]

Wow you still have two bubbles!

Bladestar I know a better way to tell who's a hornball that can't get laid. Look for the guy who's so concerned about it on an internet message board.
