Sony Blocks Porn On Blu-Ray (Straight From AEE Floor)

say good night to blu-ray...

It's most likely just junk data @ 22Gigs with actual data being closer to 5-7GB at max. Since there are no PS3 games that are of higher caliber than anything that a 360 has, and consideing both can display @ 1080, AND since MS has no plans to go above a dual-layer DVD for games on a 360, then we can assume that Fall of Man's actual data is closer to the 5-7GB range and the rest is merely filler/junk data.

A "format" producer should NOT be able to censor the material that goes onto that media format. It's a fuckin storage device, nothing more.

If this is the case and is true, the battle has already been won.

HD DVD WILL win the battle.

That is good.
pornography is a misuse of the human body by people who really can?t control themselves and are addicted to sex. they could not stop if they tried.
It leads to self abuse, rape, child abuse, and crimes. it is truely inheriently evil and an attach on one?s soul.

Resistance: Fall of Man for PS3 at 22Gigs almost fills an entire Blu-ray single layer disc. And it's the first iteration of PS3 games. I can't image to see what the next iteration brings.

Just read this: http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=117

BR has 96% of the market in Japan.
They sold 1.000.000 players in the USA (while Toshiba only 175.000)

and...

"Blu-ray software sales have now surpassed HD-DVD for the first time the week of December 24 and they did so by an impressive 20 percent."

There was a big controversy about this. A lot of the space was used up by putting all language formats on one disc, instead of having separate discs printed for each region, so the one disc will have multiple languages, different region-specific artwork, etc.

When you talk to either the HD DVD or the Blu-Ray camp you get the sense that neither actually watches movies much. Both cite features as the reason why folks will pick one or the other. Yes there is a lame shooting game in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Blu-Ray) and there are a ton of things you can do interactively in HD DVD (including changing car colors in one scene in The Fast and Furious III: Tokyo Drift). But the movie market moves on quality of movie, price of player, and price and availability of media.

At launch HD DVD players were about half the price of Blu-Ray players and the movie price for HD DVD is generally running about $5 less. In addition, many of the new HD DVD movies also have regular DVD side which means that buyers, most of which will have both HD DVD and DVD decks, will get better value with HD DVD than with Blu-Ray ? that?s the theory anyways.

All that being said, the killing blow may have been done by Microsoft who decided to bring to market a $200 HD DVD option for their Xbox 360 which has been in market a year longer than Sony and is projected to have a near 20x installed base advantage by year end (10M Xbox 360 to 600K PS3). Note that both projections are aggressive but Sony was supposed to originally ship 2M PS3s into the market during the 4th quarter and actual numbers (given they had under 200K at launch) may be closer to 400K. And with a recall possible there is a chance they might not even make that. Add to this that the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive is for movies only, so each one counts for movie viewing while PS3s may not be used to watch movies and you have a situation where the active movie player advantage by year-end should be between 4x and 6x better for HD DVD over Blu-Ray.

Finally, HP who had been a big Blu-Ray supporter and dominates the Media Center PC market, introduced a $100 HD DVD upgrade for their PCs (Sony?s Blu-Ray VIAO solution was just dropped to $749). The impact of this last move is still too early to measure but there is no comparably priced (not even close) solution using Blu-Ray.

If you go to Amazon and look you can see HD DVDs are solidly ahead and this is before the impact of either the Microsoft or the HP moves, many of which won?t be opened until Christmas or haven?t yet been shipped (HP).

Now Sony will stick with a technology for years after the market has decided on another path and they do have some very strong supporters which include Dell, Apple, and Disney. Dell traditionally has been the PC bellwether company, Apple has the most loyal customer base, and Disney is the only Studio that people ask for by name. So these folks, particularly Sony, could drag this on for years. But if that is the case not only will many in the industry not make money, Sony will probably lose the most because they are still the ones doing the heavy lifting (In addition, after the battery problems, neither Dell nor Apple is as close to Sony as they had been).

Right now it appears impossible for Blu-Ray to gain a substantial lead on HD DVD, even after massive investment, they likely could only close the gap. If the HD market depends on the emergence of one as a standard and Blu-Ray no longer has a chance to be that standard, how long will it be before the Blu-Ray supporters follow HP and switch sides?

And why does everyone always point to Japan when it comes to technology adoption? Seriously...fuck Japan. All the big movies come from Hollywood. Japan has no effect on this battle.
