Adult DVD Industry Supports HD-DVD

The crew at AVS Forums has great coverage of all things CES this year, including this story from Tuesday that says the porn industry is backing HD-DVD instead of Blu-ray. Don’t feel bad, I laughed at first too…until I read the part about the industry sold over $4 billion in adult DVDs last year. Wow.

Who cares? Well, a lot of technology developers should. Some $4.28 billion worth of adult videos were sold or rented in 2005, according to Adult Video News. About 1 billion adult videos were rented in 2005. And statistics show that there is affluence among porn aficionados. Some 35% of them have incomes over $75,000. That's enough to buy a high-def DVD player or two.
