This was true and discussed on AVS, even by a couple representatives from the porn companies. But I just now saw a Phil Swanni article saying one of the major adult movie producers in announcing HD Debbie Does Dallas (another remake) on both BD and HD DVD so I guess things are changing and porn will not be exclusive to HD DVD.

Wasn't that the case with Betamax? IIRC, they didn't want pre-recorded adult content on Betamax. I hope that isn't the case this time, because they would not only be killing Blu-Ray, but they would be repeating an obvious mistake of the past.

I'm skeptical about this claim. It's not clear to me why Sony would object to adult material being distributed on Blu-ray.
