Porn Distributor Strikes Out With Sony, Tries Microsoft Instead

[joshthor]

i gotta say. no. the playstation is the most "adult" console in my opinion (even though i have an xbox 360) i cant see porn on the 360 happening. although, if it does happen i can see an interesting tie in with project natal.

Didn't sony learn anything from the videotape format war?

 

[Olikunmissile]

It all seems so retardedly pointless when you can just Google porn?

 

[Gamegodtre]

id watch it if it was cheap

 

[dogmaster41]

yessssssss....

 

[dogmaster41]

this is so epic, fail. no system company will agree to put porn on their systems, because it will destroy the whole family friendly concept. and we all know that every company wants that concept.

 

[bam13302]

he does porn *gasp*

/facepalm This guy does realize that if someone wants porn they're going to get it come hell or high water right? Age verification for porn is so pointless nowadays that its simply a way for the sites and studios to not be sued into oblivion for someone's 13yr old getting a look at his first money shot.

Age verification for porn is useless and fails because most often you're simply asked "Are you over 18?" and then given an enter or an exit button. Well lets see, if you've managed to navigate your way to their site the odds state that you're there to view human anatomy and biology in action.

Microsoft is going to say no just like Sony, and why? Because the minute the media even gets a wiff of such a deal being hammered out it will create a PR shitstorm the likes of which we haven't seen since...well damn I guess BP is our best example right now; I was going to use Enron.

"Microsoft is selling your children porn! Details at 6" Oh yeah, that's really going to help our fight against douches like Thompson and Atkinson when our gaming consoles can potentially sell porn to kiddies.

I fear it's already too late. If even the mention of this idea gets out to the media, we're never going to hear the end of it.

Then we all know what we must do..

..Activate the Halo rings! Nothing survives! Or, just erect a 10,000 foot steel wall around this guy, so he can't do anything else with his horrid idea. There is a reason computers were invented, people!

Porn on the 360? Hello, I think someone found his ideal market. Joking aside, I really don't need to see porn on gaming consoles. If I were into that shit, I'd be looking for it right now just open google.

 

[Chameliondude]

Ps3 has a web browser, even if there was porn on psn, people would just go to that almost infinite supple of free porn, you know the internet..

Even with age constrictions, it would tarnish the Xbox360 view as a family friendly device.

The 360 has been known as a family friendly device?!


OT: I don't know if it'll happen. There's always a chance of somone trying to sue because Littly Billy charged their credit card with hundreds of dollars of porn.

 

[Warped_Ghost]

As a Xbox player I hope they don't do this.
It wouldn't make me mad but just kinda depressed.

.......... the 360 is a family friendly device?

if little jimmy 12 year-old is already playing on XBL, don't you think porn would be the least of his parents worries?

also, porn on the internet is free, depending on where you go, I don't think any 360 gamer would pay for porn if they are already paying for a XBL gold account.

Big step between verbal throw backs and pornoraphy.

And yes, Microsoft has launched ad campaigns as trying to have the image of something the whole family can use.

Is a good place to see that.

The Arcade edition was specifically focused on family design, look at the kind of games that came out with it.

[superbatranger]

I can't think of anything to say other than...Why?! Why?! Who thought this would be a good idea? We have computers!

 

[Girl With One Eye]

We all know that sex sells but really the gaming industry sells itself, if anything it would have the opposite effect of what they would want to achieve. Porn distributors are obviously just pissed that theres too much competition and are trying to get ahead of them.

IMO........FAIL

Who pays for porn anyway?
