Manufacturing Firm Plans Adults Only 'Sex Box'

[DeathWyrmNexus]

Why pay extra money for a specific system that specialises in pornography when you could just download and play on the PC, xbox, etc? the most idiotic way to waste money IMO.

Besides, one of the most important rules with owning porn is that you do not show people you own any, which is why you place the magazines under the bed, the DVDs are hidden elsewhere.

Having a machine called a 'Sex Box' say by your TV is the same as walking down the street wearing a T-shirt saying "I play pornogames".

4.Lawsuits. When this comes out how long is it going to be before somebody makes a game where you can bonk Princes Peach?

Or the obvious inevitability when a woman's rape is blamed on a sex box.

I can't wait for the lawsuits of the "Devil Made Me Do It" variety. As for the obvious nature of the box, I'm not seeing that as a deterrent. This city alone has two adult shops and it is a small city.

As for the box itself, I present the fact that the internet hasn't killed off the sale of DVD porn or any kind of sex doll, the box is basically going to be an improved version of a sex doll/porno film. One that actually does stuff back, so I personally predict a lot of our quieter dungeon dwelling friends never calling again.

The secrecy issue might be a quirk but I somehow doubt that the mainstay of buyers are going to be worried about their secret porn lair being penetrated. Those that actually have to worry about some kind of facade will just have it in some drawer and learn to connect it efficiently. On the off chance they make it worth my time, IE meaning that Lynn will see a game she wants on there and the fundage is spare, it will be something that only comes out after our sons are in bed.

You'd have to pay me a couple hundred to take it, then I'd probably incinerate it on film and post that on YouTube.

Bought. This could add a whole new meaning to the "Ring of Death."

 

[BonsaiK]

Even though downloading porn is a lot cheaper, I would buy a 'sex box' just to throw my moral support behind the concept. It's the principle that matters.

 

[VanityGirl]

That's retarded, why pay when the internet has oodles of free porn?

[Soxafloppin]

is it some sort of box you have sex with?

 

[The Austin]

Will they be making adult spoofs of Games like the porn companies do adult spoofs of Movie's? Mass Erect? Cock of Duty? etc etc................

Missionarys: World in Flames?
Batman: Lets' Get Inside em'? (Arkham Assylum)
Gears of Porn?

Videogames have been replacing women for lots of people for a some time now. And now they return to do it completely.

 

[bluepilot]

If it is for adults, I do not see the harm in it. I could make a good Saturday night in, alone or as a couple. Perhaps spice up a sex life.

If it comes with good `hardware` I would maybe pay up to 300 pounds.

 

[Arbitrary Cidin]

Dare I say 69 dollars per console? I mean it's games you grow tired of within anywhere from 2 to 15 minutes and then have absolutely no interest in. I think that it's really not going to have much more of a market than Sex Dolls, so overpricing isn't a good idea. Why? Everyone's going to pay in cash so that it doesn't show up on their credit card bill, that's why. Besides, the porn industry is infamous for it's lack of quality, so don't expect a reliable, high fps console.

For all you folks thinking "Duh, my PC already does this.." try actually reading the OP.

Or here, let me make it easy for you and quote the relevant section:

with unique user controls

That'll be the hook. This won't be a console you leave out in the living room.. unless you're having a fairly specific type of party.. this is a thing for couples.

And it's completely not possible to just make said "unique user controls" a peripheral for the PC and thus skip over the whole BS with hardware and a new console platform? I suspect this idea is going to end up as nothing more than a Virtual Boy type failure. No one plays porn games for the epic storytelling or whatnot. If you want to wank, then just hit the web, Lord knows there's enough free porn available.

The five or six of you fuckers that replied with scorn are exactly the reason we haven't had one of these yet. The public at large are fucking morons that aren't capable of handling the concept of an AO console without being massive dicks about it.

You just exude positive energy...

I'm not here to amuse you. I'm here to take a shit on people that recycle the same "get a girlfriend" jokes whenever porn games are discussed.
Though, it seems this topic is subject to morons parroting the same "just download porn" comment that every other unimaginative idiot before them has said.

You think that a porn game, where you have to actively concentrate on achieving some gameplay goal, is better than a video where you just sit and watch? I fail to understand how that could be more appealing to the masturbaters of the world. I dunno, I'm married, so this is generally not relevant to my sex life at this point, but I think the Sex Box is a seriously retarded idea.

Why do this? There are several flash games on the internet that serve the same purpose.

Technically the same reason we have normal video games when the internet has flash games that do the same thing...

 

[Legion]

You wouldn't want to borrow a controller for one of those though would you...

They don't, though. It is impossible to get anywhere near the level of depth possible in a "normal" game in flash. With a concept such as sex not having that many opportunities to create deep gameplay experiences it would be easy to replicate whatever they come up with in a program like flash.

It's an interesting project, but pointless to the tip if you ask me

I am going to have to disagree since I have found a number of genres, mostly shooter variety, that I have found more addictive in the flash medium. I've also played RPGs on flash that were way more addictive and more importantly, fun, on the flash medium. Luckily, I caught onto what was happening and managed to flee with my soul.

You are right about some genres though. A game like Oblivion or Prototype isn't remotely feasible on Flash but by that same token, imagine what could be done in a fully produced sex game compared to what you find in a flash game. A game with proper customization and variety could keep a person clued to their Sex Box for hours. I think it is a tad naive to think that a console system wouldn't be useful.

That said, I am afraid that any argument I could make for the Sex Box's right to exist and even, dare I say it "Niche'," is entirely too dependent on them actually taking the time to produce games worth playing. And by that, I obviously mean something way better than a flash game.

Imagine a game a bit like Oblivion that actually took the care to make sex worth it? Hell, even if it had only 75% of the story depth, can you imagine all the crazy shit you could pull off? Can't do that on Flash. XD

Why would you need an sex console when you have a PC with an internet connection? It's not because people can't handle it it's because it's entirely unnecessary, like marketing a DVD Rewinder.

Behold, the DVD rewinder. [http://failbox.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/untitled-2.jpg]
