Ben-DutkaSex sells. But Sony doesn't need to lower themselves to sell their product(s) anymore, now do they?
Previously, it was reported that the world's largest pornography producer, Vivid Video, had approached Sony in an effort to get their creations on the PlayStation 3. However, as the company has recently told CVG , those negotiations "didn't lead anywhere." Vivid wanted Sony to set up an "age-locked area" for users to download and view adult movies on the PS3, which would act as a mature complement to the console's existing selection of regular films and TV shows. But Vivid founder and co-chairman Steven Hirsch has confirmed that Sony clearly isn't interested, and he must now shift his sights…to Microsoft and the Xbox 360. "If we could get further than we did with Sony, we'd be very interested," he said. Even if Microsoft doesn't bite, some have suggested that pornography – arguably the single biggest entertainment venue on earth – could be a huge driver of 3D TVs and other home entertainment equipment. Speaking of which, Hirsch says the porn industry is undecided in regards to the promise of "SmartTV" (combining HDTV and internet browsing) and 3D:
"At this point, there is very little 3D content around and we think there is a problem with consumers needing to use glasses each time they watch. On the other hand, Smart TV is clearly on its way and it would make sense for the 3D people to get together with the Smart TV people to produce one device with full capabilities.
If consumers are given a choice of either 3DTV or Smart TV, their indecision about which technology to select could stall progress."
Well now, porn in 3D. …all right. Maybe Sony should've considered this aspect. But in all seriousness, we're glad there's still some semblance of class associated with the PS3, and we probably wouldn't be all that surprised if Microsoft accepted the offer; after all, it must be tough to have the waning console right now.
Isn't that what the internet browser is for? 😛

as long as i can view any xxx on the internet with my ps3 im all gravy =)
What the hell? lol Was that guy advertising merchandise?! I didn't know we were advertising stuff on here now! Hey guys I am selling two dollar condoms. Call now and it will be 50 cents!
P.S. Product not guaranteed to work 😉
Yeah, there's been an influx of douchebags with insane grammar issues trying to sell stuff. Just ignore it and it goes away. That's what I do. I think Ben banishes it to the realm of wind and ghosts.
I believe Sony made the right decision. If porn was sold through the ps3, only Sony's image would suffer. If you like or dislike Vivid, that wouldn't change one bit.
I'm more concerned for children and my favorite console maker's well being, than some people who profit from activities that should remain private. I don't condemn anyone for watching what they want to watch, but I don't want porn to be an option on a machine I purchased for my child.
Telling someone to be a good parent and monitor the device is usually advice given by single people with no children. A good parent would never purchase the device to begin with. When I bought the ps3 it didn't have the option and I wish for it to remain so.

3d 4d 5d who cares
The PS3 already has porn…….the internet browser.
But I think Sony 100% made the right decision, the Playstation is a family brand. Making a deal with Vivid would only damage that image. I mean, could you imagine the media's reaction to this. Its exactly what Sony dont need, especially with the family oriented Move due to launch soon.
Tera Patrick is such a beautiful woman that it's just a real damned shame that she had to go & cheapen herself so much.
But hey, I still wouldn't throw her off the back of my Harley(at least not while her arms & Legs were still wrapped around me at 85 MPH).
"Tera Patrick is such a beautiful woman that it's just a real damned shame that she had to go & cheapen herself so much."
Damaged goods.
Wow, some pretty narrowminded people in terms of erotica round here. The very same people I've known to get all high and mighty about porn, have cheated, don't really respect women properly and probably are even selfish lovers, though they think they are a "gentlemen".
Hiding deeper issues by mouthing off about porn? fair enough it's not your thing, but it's a strict and professional industry, with the people in it doing it cause they want to. They feel sexually awakened and instead of grinding a job they dont want to do they are partying in their own way. That's more than a lot of people can say.
Woo Hoo! and keep it off.
oh dear lord if theres one thing i dont want in 3D its porn.
i get enough sweaty people swearing in my face at work thank you very much!
That was awesome! lol
I guess I have a different opinion than the rest – I don't think linking to smut lowers the class of the platform or anything.
Hi-def Porn could have been "one more thing" offered by PSN that XBL didn't. Although, as others above have commented, God knows it's available for free (in a manner of speaking) on the Net anyway, so who would be willing to pony up cash for this?
Pony up for Sony and its DLC Porn! lmao
Why would you want to watch porn in 3D with stupid glasses on??
i wouldnt care if they put it on or not. I dont want it (and if I did, Id just use the Browser), but I'm sure someone does. Its been established that an older crowd goes for PS3s, so it would make sense that Vivid would go for them. Then again, Vivid has a reputation of sleaze in the form of celebrity sex tapes and such. Maybe it's not right that Sony would team up with them. Now if a company like Playboy would make them an offer, I think Sony would be more inclined to accept their form of erotica.
Me Want Porn.
yeah, in japan. but it wouldn't happen here in the usa. sony, wants to do it, but is afraid of getting sued. could you imagine wal-mart target, best buy, blockbuster, a family dvd rental store that doesn't carry rated r films (right now i can't think of one), not carry sony products, the ps3, or there video games, because of vivid porn or porn in general? i'll take it a step further, a father let's his son watch it, and the mother finds out and sues sony for emotional, physical, and psycological harm to the child. and says that the protection lock is a joke, nevermind that the father let his son look at it. that doesn't include people wanting to protest sony and or vivid. that doesn't include FOX,CNBC,MSNBC,CNN, the president (maybe) or your local television and radio news coming together or is in an agreeance to take down the porn machine and sony. by the way, vivid is soft core porn, i think unless they changed. them and wicked pictures. but for me, i would welcome it if it's affordable. like i said earlier, if yhey upgrade the web browser to an actual web browser that's equally compatible to the computers, you could stream to your hearts content.
Well, there is a lot to be said for how porn has managed to fit nicely with advances in technology… it's how we ended up with the inferior VHS over BetaMax afterall correct?
I know Sony knows this… so me thinks Sony knows something else, has another plan, or at least has the option to accept later if they need to.
Besides porn is on Blu-Ray already… Sony doesn't need to open up a XXX section on the PSN… If anything, this could be a store "channel" for the PREMIUM service at a later date. IMO, I don't see the need to do this either Sony… the net is chock full of porn!
@SmokeyPSD
LOL at how mad you are getting. Didn't know someone could back up such filth. Do you work for the pornography industry or something?
Next thing you know there will be someone on here who backs up something on a higher level of wrong, like pedophiles or something. I wanna see someone back up that Doki Doki game for the DS, just so I could laugh at how corrupt they are.
Porn in 3D would make things verrrry interesting
hahaha porn is free on the net anyway. And there on blu-ray to.
