Format war over, HD-DVD wins by way of pornography appearing on it first. Over in Japan GLAY'z, known for its "Brand-new-century-visual-super-exprotion-entertainment," just released the world's first adult film on HD-DVD entitled (if machine translation isn't too unreliable) "Slave Room." Public fornication aside, it's pretty significant since everybody and their mom knows that whatever format the adult industry supports is automatically the winner, or at least that's how the story goes.
The movie includes both an HD-DVD and standard DVD version due to HD-DVD's small penetration rate thus far. It retails for about $52. Screenshots can be found on GLAY'z Web site (Google it). Needless to say, it's NSFW.
UPDATE: As luck would have it, it appears that another adult HD-DVD is already out there by the name of Pirates. It's some sort of epic production with lots of pirate-on-wench action, just the way we like it here.

Ooh, HD-DVD "penetration"
Not interested in pr0n that offers a small penetration rate.
as far as i noticed, the multimillion dollar Adult feature "Pirates" ships in a dvd/hddvd dual format package, and has been for a while.
yep... as we figured hddvd is the cheaper easier to manufacture with the easy easily available authoring tools... so here comes the pr0n... was only a mount of time
HAHAHAHAHA "hddvd penetration" lol
Interesting... didn't Larry Flynt already say that porn could never succeed in high-definition because the only thing keeping the "actors" and "actresses" palatable is the fact that standard-definition video obscures so many physical imperfections?
Will people continue to snap up porn once they can see all of the track marks, varicose veins, and plastic surgery scars on their favorite performers?
That HD-DVD Pirates has been out for a while, my friend has had it for at least 2-3 moths.
Did you know: That movie actually has footage taken inside the pirates of the carribean ride in Disneyland!? It does, and Disney has sued, but the movie still rocks.
Pirates is a regular DVD-ROM with a 720p HD WMV file on it, playable only with a PC or a device capable with that sort of thing. Pirates WILL NOT play back on a true HD-DVD player.
This entry from Glay'z IS the first real HD-DVD adult disc.
There is an american publisher that will be releasing soon as well, only it will be just new transfers of old old adult film classics from the 70's (Deep Throat, Behind the Green Door)
Just FYI.
HD Beat had posted about this a while back. Nothing has changed, bablfish translation says the release date was the 11th still don't have a clue where to buy it.
avdvd.net doesn't have it yet

Porn IS the bellwether. Sorry Sony.
No pron in BlueRay? I accept the defeat. Long live the new king.
You know what I think is hilarious: All this extra resolution and the genitals are STILL obscured by giant blocks of pixelation.
I like how Nicholas acts like he has never heard of the Pirates porn DVD until now. That is funny.
Also Master Hater, which magic scene is this? Are you getting mixed up with the ship that was used that was also part of Pirates of the Carribean the movie? (not the black pearl but one of the other ships)
When I first saw this, all I could think of was "YES!!! YES!!! YES!! OH GOD YES!!! HD-DVD WINS!!!!!" Does that make me a dirty person?
HD-DVD already had some Pirates-themed porn released a bit ago, IIRC, sot hat woudl make that the first porn.
