Playboy has not been relevant in quite a while. The move away from physical media is a good thing for them if they are unwilling to go Blu-ray. Many of us are bored with Softcore unless it is in insane resolutions, and the girl is natural and truly beautiful. Blu-Ray would give good resolution and quality, especially at a high, high bitrate, however Playboy's choice in women has floundered as its all silicon and photoshop so "moving pictures" in 1080p would reveal something that just doesn't cut it unless that woman was actively engaged in various acts that are beyond Playboy's scope. Of course playboy would also just soft focus the whole scene to compensate, making the Blu-Ray pointless. Seeing how no one is paying for an overpriced DVD of 480p Playboy-produced junk now, why even do it. Now maybe they can downsize enough to take full advantage of the little revenue they still get from the remaining people who still think their stuff is dirty enough to "do any good". However, you're already at the computer, with the whole internet to choose from, there is so much better out there. They need to take a cue from a place like Met-Art if they actually want to do Softcore right again.
Hustler is the only old-school player that has kept up fully with the evolution of the industry, of course, they don't limit themselves to being the Disney of porn.
All that said, there is that niche market for Playboy DVDs that you would watch with your girlfirend to "warm her up" and at the same time not letting on that you really, at this point on the internet, could gain some pleasure off even seeing 2 girls, 1 cup again.
