The single reason Blu-Ray will fail.

Yeah saw this recently.. And yeah did Betamax not teach them anything..

though I think porn is so much more internet related than the lack of availability back in the first days of the VCR..

Sony have always tried to plough their own furrow and be different. I think sometimes they have to backtrack - they dropped memory sticks in favour of SD cards in their new DSLR camera.

I guess the internet is a good point, how much porn is delivered in hard copy as opposed to downloaded these days?

Porn leads the way and is a driver. VHS, DVD, Internet, Ecommerce, and now it will be HD-DVD as the porn dudes are going with that format.

Until you start juggling all your drives...

I need a TB in a box for about $200. Chain 5 of those together and I am done for awhile.

you can d/l porn but to d/l HD quality DVD is about 35 gig and you can't always get good d/l speed. IF blu-ray wins it would be very bad for buying films (although Sony are in partnership with other companies with bluray) Sony seems to be in control and like to dictate prices. Also Sony's UMD format died as it very expensive & crap.

From what I read Blu-ray players is very expensive while HD-DVD players are cheaper (half the price)
