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?"
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.
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

Pron Station Portable?
Surely the DS is more suited for "touching".
...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.
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.
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'

Maybe. How easy is it to use a PSP with one hand?
Another lame attempt at a joke ;-)
