I have only paid marginal attention to the Sony Blu-ray vs. Toshiba HD DVD battle, but Sony thinks it has the
upper hand:
Sony made its latest market move this week, with the introduction of its recordable Blu-ray discs.
Big deal. In contrast,
news out of Japan suggests that Toshiba may win this one:
GLAY'z...just released the world's first adult film on HD-DVD
Which do you think is bigger "killer app"? That's really not meant to be as facetious as it seems. Says
Gizmodo:
It was the porn industry that helped decide the winner in the VHS/Beta wars 25 years ago. The porn industry helped make CD-ROMs ubiquitous and created the basis for online payment systems so prevalent today. And as a big-time electronics company executive told me a couple months ago, it will be the porn industry that decides the ultimate victor in the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD wars. So it's not surprising the industry decided to pioneer in the area of digital downloads.
