In a repeat of the famous Betamax versus VHS, it appears that the adult film industry has chosen HD DVD over Blu-ray as their publishing medium of choice.

VHS eventually won over Betamax because the adult industry preferred it. In the late 70’s and early 80’s many video rental stores popped up around the country and they rented out mostly adult films in the VHS format. This sealed the fate of Betamax. It is thought that adult films is the main reason that the VCR gained ground in the first place.

Blu-ray was the adult industries preferred standard as of last year but recent trends have changed the minds of some studios. One factor is that there are many more HD DVD players in the form of Xbox 360’s already in consumer’s living rooms. Considering the problems Sony has had with production of Blu-ray based PlayStation 3, its no wonder some are questioning the Blu-ray format. In another bizarre move, Sony apparently has banned some adult studios from using the Blu-ray format. One producer, Digital Playground, has claimed that Sony prevented them from publishing movies in the Blu-ray format.
