'Cause the BDA is saying otherwise.

Did anyone ever think to look at what studios are members of the BDA? (Hint: no adult film studios) Since these members would have first-hand information as to when replication would begin and the projected time frames for production of their discs, would they not have first chance at reserving a spot at the Blu-ray replication facilities? Blu-ray does have more studio support, so therefore these studios need more replication time than HD DVD and have more discs to produce. Furthermore, if the "Blu-ray won't support porn" rumors really were true, Vivid Entertainment wouldn't have made an official announcement of their newest title on Blu-ray just days ago.

And before anyone suggests an avalanche of porn titles for HD DVD, you might want to research how many adult film titles on HD DVD have actually been announced. Studios like Vivid, Wicked Pictures, Digital Playground and Adam&Eve will be releasing HD adult movies on Blu-ray. It's just that it will not be as soon as those on HD DVD.
