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?"
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?
Surely the DS is more suited for "touching".
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.
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.
