Finally a STB Biz Model That Makes Sense: Porn
I don’t open with quotes often because usually in press releases they suck, but this one’s pretty good:
The AVN Adult Channel on VUDU is more than an inventory of adult movie titles. It’s a shared passion for creating a unique consumer experience through technology and innovation. The partnership has created an entirely new platform from which adult movies can be enjoyed,” said Darren Roberts, C.E.O., AVN Media Network.
A shared passion for creating a unique consumer experience through technology and innovation! The adult film industry has been on the forefront of video technology for as long as it existed, and it makes money.
The AVN VUDU channel will offer SD movies for rental for $6.99 and $19.99 for purchase and HD quality movies for $8.99 and $29.99 respectively. VUDU subscribers will also get free access to the 25th annual AVN Adult Movie Awards “in brilliant 1080p HD.”
With so many set-top boxes vying for position and existing Trojan horse devices like the XBox and PS3 already in millions of living rooms it’s about time a company started differentiating itself with content that actually sells.
Corey Adds: Yeah, but there’s so much free porn online (so I’ve heard).
Ben Responds: You’re the expert, but in 1080P on your TV?
