cmaster383 writes "Wired is running a story about the use of a PSP for distribution of Porn. 'Two Japanese publishers of adult DVD video have announced plans to release a selection of their top titles on Sony's Universal Media Disc, or UMD, format, which is currently supported exclusively by the PSP, next month. These aren't shady gray-market items: The eight video discs will be officially licensed by Sony and carry the PSP logo on the package.'"

    To all the people observing that porn is frequently the driving force for new media formats, someone explain to me... who is going to buy porn movies for a portable device? What is the compelling situation where one would want to watch porn on a small screen like the PSP's? Really just genuinely curious.
