PSP pornography is ‘utterly undesirable’
PALGN 2005 :: PSP pornography is ‘utterly undesirable’
With the launch of the very first pornographic movies on the PSP’s UMD video format imminent, Sony have spoken out on the subject to the Japanese press, denouncing the releases as ‘utterly undesirable’. Yet despite their decidedly dim view on the arrival of PSP porn, the Japanese giant is unable to prevent the discs from being released, as the firm can only monitor the content of games. From a legal standpoint, Sony have very little control over the content of films released on the new UMD format.
I think Sony is missing a bet here. I mean, watching something like Spiderman 2 on a handheld always struck me as a dubious proposition–and at around $30 each the PSP movies are expensive for something you can’t also play on your television. But people are willing to pay big money for porn (even monkeys will apparently pay for monkey porn, but that’s a different post)–I could definitely see this eating into the market for hotel-room cable porn. Even more discreet for the business traveler, and, hey, you can hold it in one hand…
