Blu-ray does pom-poms: first porn flick on Blu-ray format

After all of the drama about adult film studios and the format wars, the porn industry finally has its first stake on the Blu-ray disc format: “Debbie Does Dallas Again”. Vivid Entertainment has just announced that this title of theirs will be released in Blu-ray on March 28.

What’s interesting to note here is that the porn flick will also be simultaneously on HD-DVD format for the same price. Both formats would be sold for US$ 39.95, even though production on the Blu-ray disc is thrice the cost of that on HD-DVD. So why the same price?

A spokesperson for Vivid Entertainment said that they “want to see which one the consumer prefers.” They’re releasing the Blu-ray disc for cheaper to test if it will really, err, boom on the market. If it does, then they continue production. If it doesn’t… Well, we can only guess. After all, some have said that the porn industry would be the big decider between HD-DVD and Blu-ray.
