PlayStation Home And Porn - No Problems

Posted by Zonk on from the match-made-in-dallas dept.

Via Eurogamer, a post on the 'semi-official' ThreeSpeech blog essentially saying that Sony doesn't see porn as an issue for the upcoming Home PS3 service. Sony's Phil Harrison was on the other end of the blog's questions, and after reminding us that avatars won't be able to interact, it will be easy to blacklist people, and they will have lots of filters in place: "Well I'm disappointed that you would use those as the first questions ... I think Home should be used for a much wider and more beneficial scope than [porn], but I think that people can express their creativity inside Home in a wide variety of ways and it's not necessarily for us to dictate what that should be."

      PS3 doesn't have vibrating controllers. It's lose-lose with this console.

    In other words, it's a ripoff of Second Life, which is a glorified chat room.

    Gaming is an ADULT hobby.

    Damn right! I _tried_ to tell them Pokémon was a satan-worship and bestiality simulator, but all I got were funny looks!
