Not me. The only reason I\'ll get a PS3 is if Blu-Ray \'wins\'. And then only when it\'s WAY down in price.

Sony lost the ball on this one. Too little, too late, too pricey.

It\'s rather gloomy. Hope Blu-Ray wins. Coz I want the prices for the future Blu-Ray writers to be competitive and therefore - cheaper in price. I want this for my movie editing.

Nope, I don\'t follow the war much. I figure it\'ll be clear in a year or two which format to choose.

porn will have little to do with the "format war".
this isn\'t the 80\'s where VHS was the only way to get it.

Actually Sony denies banning porn on blu ray.

"Update: Sony is now denying claims of a porn ban in Blu-ray. Speaking to Arstechnica, Marty Gordon, vice-chair of the Blu-ray Disc Association Promotions Committee, stated: "There is not a prohibition against adult content. The BDA welcomes the participation of all companies interested in using and supporting the format, particularly those from the content industry."

I was gonna say banning porn seems like a bit of a daft moved on Sony\'s half.
