Vivid Entertainment wants more porn on your PS3
We were just as shocked as you are -- people will pay to watch what now?! Copulation, you say? Apparently it's a booming business! As well as one that could be expanded with streaming access via the PlayStation 3, Vivid Entertainment head honcho Steven Hirsch told MCV recently. He believes companies like Japan's DMM are paving the way for streaming adult content on the PS3.Though his company has yet to formally request its content be available on Sony's console, DMM has already proven such a thing is possible through the console's web browser. Unfortunately, this is one of those awkward moments where we have to inform the idea men behind this that so is ... the rest of the Internet. Let's hope enough people are ready to shell out their dough for the sheer convenience of it all.
Format war alive and well in porn industry
If the porn industry is indeed pivotal to format success, the current HDM war may be far from over. Digital Playground's move to blu aside, the porn industry has not seen the same kind of bandwagon-hopping as the more mainstream media. Read through the link to get the lowdown on the individual players, but suffice it to say that there's a pull between mainstream studio pull for Blu-ray and affordability for HD DVD. If what we heard from the BDA press conference at CES is any indication, the consumers will follow where the studios lead. The question is whether the porn industry will fall in line with those studios or vote for the lower royalty costs of HD DVD.
