Playboy on Playstation Portable
Nicholas Roussos writes "Playboy is jumping on the PSP bandwagon . CNN reports, 'Playboy Enterprises will announce plans Wednesday to offer nude and non-nude photo galleries that have been specifically formatted for viewing on Sony's Portable PlayStation.' Will the porn industry spearhead the adoption of the PSP like it has with so many other new technologies?"

Its the same images you get on their website.
Nothing to get excited about. (or maybe not!)
Mom! Dad was using my PSP, and now there's some kind of sticky goo all over it!
How ya like dat?
When I am at work taking PSP to the toilet to play could mean a whole new thing for me.
What will they thinkk of next? Might as well put a microwave on my PSP. I don't think I would need much else.

With this, you're not even using the built-in WiFi to go to the website and get the photos - it would appear they just give you the images in a compressed archive, and you're expected to copy these images to the memory card.
How is this any different to what can already be done on any other pr0n website on the Internet?
the first thing I thought of while reading the title was that this must be about a Gameboy emulator on PSP
Don't Tell Me What I Can't Do!
Pron Station Portable?
Surely the DS is more suited for "touching".
hahahahhaa
Why stick up for big business?
My first reaction was that someone must have written a Gameboy emulator for Playstation Portable, and called it Playboy. Then I read the blurb.
In my defence, I've only been out of bed for about 5 minutes...
Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
...I only bought the PSP for the articles.
Wasn't it becuse sony didn't want porn on the Betamax that the Betamax got it's ass kicked by VHS? I don't think sony would be very happy about this nor do I think it would spread very fast when you can crop and compress the images and movies your self.

Ah, the wonders of technology never cease to amaze, eh?
You need to exploit a loophole in a $50 piece of software to get on the internet with it, and we ALREADY have porn.
This thing hasn't been out for a month yet! Jeez, is anyone really THAT horny?
Won't this also lead to crazy lawsuits about kids being mentally disturbed because they saw some idiot watching porn in public on their PSP? Its bound to happen. The last thing the gaming industry needs is hardcore porn apps.
Plus, Playboy on the DS would be ten times as good. Can you say "touch screen"?
Anyone out there know anything about snes porn cartridges? A bit off topic I know, but I got a bunch of roms at one point, and intermixed with the real video games were a couple of roms that just had grainy porn pics on them. Were these ever released as (obviously) unlicenced cartridges?
Amazing the innovation of the porn industry....

I don't think this would be all that popular amongst the main stream. Unless you're that creepy guy on the subway reading a Hustler, or that perv downloading porn on the library computer, most people prefer to do their porn viewing in private. And if you are at home, would you rather be looking at porn on a 3x5 screen, or on your 19" monitor?
This isn't to say that there aren't people who have no problem with watching porn in public, but the demographic who is most likely to have the money and the desire to buy a PSP is also a demographic who would know to be a bit more discreet about such things.
The only real difference is that they are formatting the images specifically to fit on the screen of the PSP.
Finally, I can gerk off in the subway!
"Will the porn industry spearhead the adoption of the PSP like it has with so many other new technologies?" -If there is a just a decent god out there...yes.

The interesting thing however... Some time ago, someone i know in the adult industry suggested making some adult games for GBA (Game Boy Advance). He was a professional system programmer and he knew well the GBA architecture. However, when he suggested this at an adult industry event, full of huge companies, the people there told him "NO-NO!"
The GBA is PRIMARY intended for kids, so Nintendo will never allow him to issue such a game... So Here is a question: isn't PSP also PRIMARY intended for kids? (Yes, a certain demographic of adults would have them, quite a large demographic, but 'primarily'

Talk about "hand-held" entertainment...
I've always been looking for decent material to masturbate to on the F train.
Hopefully they will allow sharing of pictures and interactive masturbation over 802.11. We should all herald this as innovation in the field of perversion.
And to all you ladies out there riding the F train... I'm single, and available!
When they said that the PSP was going to be more of an 'adult' choice than the DS, I don't think this was what they ment
Will the porn industry spearhead the adoption of the PSP like it has with so many other new technologies?
Maybe. How easy is it to use a PSP with one hand?
Besides, isn't there similar technology for Dad himself?
Makes me doubt that'll happen. I think.
You can hold down the "B" button for continuous firing.
Subject.
So you're saying that Playboy will have a hard time trying to penetrate this market?
Try not to think about this in terms of porn itself, but what the porn industry could bring to the PSP. You could argue that, historically, a lot about how home computing and the internet work together has been influenced by the porn industry -- multimedia and secure payment transactions are two that spring to mind. If playboy goes for this, and other porn companies follow suit, you could see benefits down the line in terms of the use of PSP tech that have absolutely nothing to do with porn.
The usefulness of the Playboy/PSP deal is the formatting, the PSP being a odd widescreen angle is rather difficult to get the appropriate quality on.
Although it will open up the eyes to the masses, PSP=PornStationPortable
Another lame attempt at a joke ;-)
"Will the porn industry spearhead the adoption of the PSP like it has with so many other new technologies?"
At first I thought this was a stupid idea. Then I realized, that the geeks who shelled out the $250+ for this system and still insist on referring to it as "sleek and sexy" are the ones who need this the most.
What is "Sunlite"? Some form of low-carb sun? A cheap workstation based on SPARC processors?
Porn to go. That ought to be real popular on the commute to work. Or better yet, on the school bus.
And everyone was trying to blame Sony for shoddy craftsmanship.
but rather legit games, not licenced by Nintendo, and made in either China, Korea's, or Taiwan. Many of them are not so called "hacks" in the sence of a hacked rom. I've played a few tetris style ones, where based on the amount of area you clear, more tits and ass show :)
