Japanese studio has already adult content on Blu-ray

According to WesleyTech, it looks like despite all the reports of no adult films being available on Blu-ray, one Japanese film studio "Glayz" is already in the process of producing and distributing such content on Blu-ray, as well as HD DVD and UMD.

On the other hand, this is so far the only studio offering adult content on Blu-ray, not to mention being a Japanese film studio.  As a result, Sony and the other companies behind Blu-ray could still prevent adult film studios from delivering content on the format in the US and other countries, but at least this report means that the Blu-ray format is not totally free of adult movies. 

For now, with the US adult film industry having no success in getting their movies released on Blu-ray, HD DVD has become the preferred format for releasing their titles on going by CES reports.

If true, the simple notion that Sony would censor what content is allowed on the format should be enough for anyone to boycott them. If it is true that Sony will not allow adult content on blu ray in certain markets then that they are dictating what you are allowed to watch on your PS3 or blu ray player ! Do they care that 100 million + PS2s can play the worlds library of adult DVDs ?

Dolphinius_RexWhat I find really funny is that most of the major replication plants in North America REFUSE to touch porn... not because Sony or anyone else threatens them, but because it is company policy. I know some major customers refuse to work with plants that manufacture porn, which is probably part of it. But I don't believe that Sony is trying to censor the whole format of BluRay...more and more it's looking like some kind of huge misunderstanding.

WesocietyHmm interesting, so it could just be specific company policy of the US locations that have Blu-ray disc manufacturing capability. However what about outsourcing Blu-ray production to another company? If US adult film companies can get their content manufactured at a company in Japan / Taiwan / China / Korea, then we might see Blu-ray porn in the US after all... (disclaimer: I do not know what companies or countries currently have Blu-ray disc manufacturing capability)
