No porn allowed on Sony's Blu-ray player

[riffer]

Heads-up people.

This could be the turning point in the HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray war.

Prominent adult movie producer Digital Playground (site (http://www.digitalplayground.com/)) says it has been forced to use HD DVD instead of Blu-ray, because Sony does not allow XXX-rated movies to be released on Blu-ray.

Are they mad? Like it or loath it, porn is (currently) the cornerstone of the DVD market...... Bye bye Blu-Ray:spudwave:


Did you find this on the Digital Playground site :innocent:

Youi mean foot?... No actually - I think you're right... head!

Considering the all up worth of the xxx market relative to the non xxx market .... tis a gutsy (albeit stupid) move

Where the hell do Sony get off telling people what their media/players can/can't be used for. I don't care that much about the porn, but I do care about the principle.:angry:

Similarly I bought a firewire card once that came with some video editing software (that was useless to me because I don't use Windows), which had conditions that you don't use it for any form of pornography. Stupid.

No porn?? But Sony are a Japanese company. They read porn on the way to work!!

Oh the humanity!

[davereid]

Man, I spent HOURS on that digital playground site, and I couldnt find the info about the player restriction. Guess I'll just have to keep looking...:dodge:

No, they read comics like Manga. same "Speed Racer/Gigantor" artwork, only XXX rated. A study suggested it's from all the Phytoestrogens in the tofu and soy products thay eat.

Sony really fuck me off as a company. Twas those fkers who forced regional DVD formatamathingies onto us. That really pisses me off - Who the fk are they to think they can tell me I'm not allowed to buy exactly the same product cheaper from overseas, legitimately, and use it on MY player. Fkers.

And now the dicks wont sell me a unit I can watch prawn on. And don't get me onto whaling.... bastards. Good on Greenpeace for...hang on.......sorry........I ummmm......PSP is cool eh?

[The_Dover]

so no blu movies on blu ray then?

how does the player distinguish between porn and more savoury content?

does it have willy, flange and knocker recognition alorithms built in? my mate at uni developed software to recognise and filter naughty bits in pictures.

so I beat him up and ostracised him. cunt.

[riffer]

Good on ya Dover. Next time you see him give him a slap for me too...

[Skyryder]

Good one Sony. It's all about putting porn where it belongs, in the mags and dunnys, where it can be fully appreciated. :dodge:
