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?"

      Does that mean Sony is finally going to start shipping an all-weather slipcover for the PSP?

  2. Good thing it is portable... by NashCarey · · Score: 3, Funny

    When I am at work taking PSP to the toilet to play could mean a whole new thing for me.

  3. You're just copying images to the memory card by miaDWZ · · Score: 4, Insightful

    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?

  4. amusing title by ExKoopaTroopa · · Score: 5, Funny

    the first thing I thought of while reading the title was that this must be about a Gameboy emulator on PSP

    ...I only bought the PSP for the articles.

  6. Popularity? by MagicDude · · Score: 3, Insightful

    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.

  7. 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. ;)

    Maybe. How easy is it to use a PSP with one hand?
