Doug There is already HD porn on-line anway. You are right about one thing though the format war is over, but your worng about the winner. Check out the new movies thread and click on one of the HD-DVD movies, then notice the Video Resolution/Codec, they are in 1080p anyway, which if I'm not mistaken is the native res. for blu-ray not HD-DVD. Even the one's that are exclusivley HD-DVD. Sounds like they just wanted to save money and get ready to make them on BD when there is no more HD-DVD's to exclusivley put movies on.
@Zed - Sorry to disappoint, but the native res on HD-DVD is also 1080p.
To those who say porn doesn't matter -- it had $4.3 BILLION in sales and rentals of movies. If I recall, that's more than any studio (or maybe all studios combined?) It will have an impact.
Also, do you really think companies like Onkyo and Meridian are stupid and just want to throw money away on HD-DVD players that won't be worth anything in a few months? I didn't see ANY new support for BD at CES - no new studios (HD-DVD got a few), no new CE manfuacturers (HD-DVD got a few). All they did was announce titles. That's it.

The war is a long way from over.
