The adult games offered are hardcore. They include chesty sister wifey game Shimai Tsuma, the stomach churning Lolita-at-home title Hajimete no Orusuban, inevitable tentacle game Inda no Hime Kishi no Jeanne, maid punishment game Oshioki Sweetie + Sweets!! and another Lolita title Sayonara wo Oshiete: comment te dire adieu.
The first PC game BD-Game is releasing on Blu-ray later this month, Kanon, is actually a standout title. It’s a good yarn and not nearly as sleazy or unsettling as some of the other titles.
These PC titles are not approved by Sony. Since they are Blu-ray, and not actual PS3 games, they don’t have to be. They work using basic Blu-ray menu functions to select in-game choices and progress through the story.
As previously mentioned, Kanon will be out this month (October 28). The Blu-ray version is priced at ¥3800 ($50). That same day, Shimai Tsuma will also be released — also for ¥3800.
The following months will bring future BD-Game releases to PS3 consoles and Blu-ray players.
And if you’re not satisfied playing dirty Blu-ray games on your PS3 or Blu-ray player, you can always watch dirty movies. They’re widely available on Blu-ray.

Wednesday, October 12, 2011 at 7:41 AMI remember when Hirameki went and butchered a bunch of visual novels by releasing them in such a format.
I also remember how poorly received that awful format was, and how Hirameki went out of business.
What I’m getting at here is that playing a visual novel as an interactive DVD/BD is a terrible idea.

Wednesday, October 12, 2011 at 2:06 PMSince Bluray supports Java, wouldn’t it be possible (easily) to have very very good and fast support for visual novels in this format? I think I can see why it would have failed for DVD; but I imagine it could be done somewhat “perfectly” for Bluray…

Wednesday, October 12, 2011 at 8:46 PMThe DVD-PG format was really more a Jp market thing.
Mainly because most anime/gaming/eroge fans would more often than not already have DVD Players or a PS2 anyway so it was a much more cheaper/accesible version.

Truly touching.

Wednesday, October 12, 2011 at 8:54 AMOh what I would give for Utawarerumono 2 to be an eroge as well since it’s going to be PS3 only.

DVD-PG (and the lesser known UMD-PG, yes thats right you can play eroge on your PSP as well =P) has been around fer ages now and was used as an alternative to play eroge on DVD players/PS2. Was fairly sure BD-PG titles have been out in Jp fer a while now..
