Playboy on Playstation Portable

Posted by Zonk on from the chikka-chikka-BOW-chikka-wakka dept.

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?"

  1. SNES porn cartridges by antifoidulus · · Score: 2, Interesting

    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....

  2. The difference. . . by MonkeyBunker · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The only real difference is that they are formatting the images specifically to fit on the screen of the PSP.

    The porn industry has actually had an effect on a lot of developing technologies. Depending on whom you ask, the porn industry may have had a very large hand in deciding the VHS vs. Betamax format war, and it may again have a huge impact on the upcoming Blu-Ray Disc vs. HD-DVD "situation" when the formats hit market. Though it operates somewhat "behind the scenes," the gross of over $5 billion per year (geek comments aside) isn't anything to shake a, uh...fist at. ;)

    it's ok, I was the same and I've been out of bed for about 5 hours. Seriously though, why would you need porn on your PSP? Does Playboy think that men are going to "read the articles" when they are commuting or in public places? It doesn't make any sense to me.

    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'
