Adult Industry Releases Its First HD DVD

Adult Industry studio Wicked Pictures has beat its competitors to the punch and announced their release of what will be the first adult HD DVD: Camp Cuddly Pines Powertool Massacre.

The standard DVD version of Camp Cuddly has been a huge hit for the studio, and since it was a title shot with hi-def cameras, it made sense that the movie would be chosen as the studio's first release on one of the two brand-new hi-def formats.The 4-disc release will feature the movie in hi-def, along with bonus features presented in standard definition.

Is HD-DVD Winning The Format War?

A new study, released by independent research firm Cymfony suggests that Sony may have blown its chance at making Blu-ray the winning format in the hi-def war.

The study, which looked at about 18,000 online posts on various websites, blogs and forums between October 1st, 2006 and November 30th, 2006 indicates that postive discussion about the HD-DVD format is 46% higher than positive discussion about Blu-ray. Futhermore, the study found that 23% of Blu-ray postings were negative, compared to only 14% for HD-DVD.

Sony didn't get any extra help this week when Time/Warner's CEO Richard Parsons said that Sony's PS3 wasn't going to help drive Blu-ray movie sales. "People get those things to play games, not watch movies," Parsons stated.
