Sony Says No To Quality Content Such As “The Chauffeur’s Daughter” & “Touch Me”

PusSquare: Were you hoping to get Vivid Video’s back-catalogue of adult entertainment on your PS3? Really? Well tough – Sony’s said no

One of the world’s biggest porno content providers (ok, grow up), has declared that talks with Sony to get a new “adult” section added to the Playstation Video Store directory fell flat pretty early

[dizzleK]

i guess sony doesn't want to win the war. paying for porn is for suckers but you can't deny that it rakes in $$$$.

[Press_Agree]

I say Yes to quality content like "Killzone 3" and "LBP2"

[SullyDrake]

This is the move of a mature company. I'm proud to support Sony when they make decisions like this without much thought needed. =)

[SaiyanFury]

I don't need interactive porn, thank you very much. I'm married to a wonderful woman so I don't need things like that.

[SaiyanFury]

If I was a normal person, you might be right. I love my wife, and we've been together for several years now. We're still discovering each other and I've not grown bored. Today's society demonizes marriage, and complains about how people become bored with each other. I'm not bored in the least and my wife is only too happy to accommodate me. I don't need pornography, and we have a healthy marriage. I fear no boredom with my wonderful wife, and I love her with all my heart. We will not grow bored or complacent, and we'll be happy for the rest of our lives. A lot of people might disagree with me. I took my time to get to know my wife before we decided to marry. She shares my values and we have everything in common. I thank God for my chance to meet her, and we wed several years ago. I love her as much now as I did those years ago. I don't expect insane things from her, nor her I, and we get along swimmingly. I pity those people who never have a real meaningful relationship; you'll never know real love.

Public image > Money

[FURY__UNLEASHED]

Not necessarily because public image EARNS you money.

[SnuggleBandit]

which is exactly what he wrote lol

public image is greater than money

[Colonel-Killzone]

LOL I don't think sony wants to be the first gaming console to be offering up porn. I don't think they will win that way dizzleK. That would be a bad image on parents who wanna buy their children a PS3. That would start issues with politicians etc. People already can easily lie about their age when they make a PSN account. And kids can easily buy PSN cards. This would be a bad image today on fox five news 12 year old kid buys some porn off his Ps3. I would say in the public eye this is a smart decision.

[Ryudo]

"LOL I don't think sony wants to be the first gaming console to be offering up porn."

Actually as I recall Sony is the first gaming console to offer up porn, There was a Pamela Anderson sex game on the PS1. And that didn't do anything to hurt it's imagine considering it won by a landslide.

So not much of what you said is actually true but hey it's N4G, Sony positive comments get agrees and bubbles here have some more.

[ExgamerLegends2]

As stated

[Dark_king]

All they would need to do is make it work on the web browser if it doesn't all ready.In this age where kids or not the majority of gamers it doesn't make sense to keep adult content away.They could make it so you have to have a credit card on the account.A credit card is different then a PSN card,a psn card can't be used for age verification.So the adult content wouldn't even be their for kids even if they lie about their age.

[arakouftaian]

I saw it in adult convention show in LA few years ago and everybody was
lovng it lol. With the new tv I will be huge bussiness

[FURY__UNLEASHED]

Or you could just get a girlfriend who you can actually TOUCH.

[Colonel-Killzone]

Dark kids can easily get their parents to use their credit card on their PSN account. Trust me I did that when I was 17 I had my aunt enter her information on my PSN account. Honestly that method would not work or should I say it won't be as effective as you may think. Also there are quite a lot of kids on the psn mate. Its all about their image and sony does not wanna ruin it distributing porn on their console. 99 percent is already basically porn infected I do not think consoles will be allowing porn on their stores for a very long time. And if not least not in the United States. IDK how other countries work so I can't comment on that.

[Dark_king]

You see heres the funny thing all that applies to PC's to.But it remains the credit card holders responsibility to keep there kids from the content.I don't see why adult content can't be on the PSN.Its not a game console its a entertainment system and Porn is a form of entertainment.I personal don't care about what kids see or don't,Its up to there parents to do there job and watch them not me or Sony or any corporations.

[Rainstorm81]

Porn is all over the internet does it really need to be on PSN??

Its a thousand free streaming porn sites you can use right now on your PS3 browser.

[thebudgetgamer]

ïî

[mercenarie]

What a wonderful idea! adding porn will def make parents purchase a PS3 for the kids during the holidays.

[HumanStark]

I doubt there's anything puritanical about Sony's management. It is just a good PR move. Look how the media wet the bed because of a tasteful sex scene in Mass Effect. If that causes CNN to have a fit and write stories about the "SEX BOX", can you imagine the bad press out-and-out porn is going to get the PS3?

[BABY-JEDI]

The Xbox will be streaming alien sex shows : / how bizzare

[Colonel-Killzone]

Ahhh yes very true. The thing is though I look at it this way games are already being questioned about the content thats on the games. And I mean I doubt sony will do it but I'm just worried about how this will affect me as a gamer. Bad enough politicians wanna get down on video games trying to get rid of the M rated games and even stop the development of some games all together. All I'm saying is the media will look at it this way and say its bad enough that kids can easily get access to porn on the PC but now we have to worry about them doing it on their own video game consoles. Thats all I'm saying. And the PS3 will always be a game console first then entertainment system after least IMO.

[Sony Fiend]

Umm, I can acces Redtube, Youporn and Keezmovies using my PS3 browser, between the 3 of those theres thousands upon thousands of porn movies for free.

Seriously, how much more porn does one need ?

[specialguest]

Xvideos (much better than the sites you've mentioned)

[boysenberry]

tube8 Is good also.

[2Negative]

xhamster crushes all other free sites.

[Megaton]

Keez is a good one, been going there since it was just a pic site. There's also this other one, but I can't even say its name or my post would probably be deleted. Same kinda site, but it asian-centric, loads extremely fast.

[EfanOne]

Excerpt from the article:
---With Sony out of the picture, Hirsch (Vivid CEO) is now looking to Microsoft: “If we could get further than we did with Sony [on Xbox 360], we’d be very interested.” Yep, have fun with that. Microsoft’s user-base is younger than Sony’s---

I laughed my ass off :D

[roguewarrior]

Ps3 has a web browser, you could watch all the porn you want. and if you really like Vivid try streaming from Vivid.com. P.S. do people who aren't computer illiterate, really pay for porn.

[Megaton]

Pornography is a sin. It has no place in American society, because America is Jesus' favorite country and it makes him cry.

...oh, sorry, just assuming that's what FOX News would have ran with if this had been implemented. Let adults enjoy porn on their PS3's if they want.

[anonymouse111335]

It's not the question of whether or not they should allow it or not but that they're censoring it.

Any censorship is bad, you see with this sony can easily rejct other things as well, parental controls, apparently apple and sony have not heard of them. Kids usually see porn when they're young so what? I've been looking at porn since I was like 12 and I passed my GED 98 points over what you needed to pass, and I'm entering college this summer, I think I've turned out pretty okay. Statistics show porn helps reduce the rate of actual sex crimes so why not allow it? In prison sex offenders were shown to have looked at porn later in life than non sex offenders from their questioning, so why not allow it? There will be a few people that get addicted to it, but you can get addicted to anything, gaming, pop, songs, crack etc.

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

the ability to score well in school tests with real world maturity. That in itself shows immaturity.

I suppose you think that any store anywhere that doesn't sell porn is censoring?

You expect to walk into your local Chuck E Cheese and ask for VIVID to be put on the big screen?

You expect to walk into Toys R Us and walk out with a cart full of porn DVDs?

Do you protest outside your local DVD store when they don't carry a movie you want to see?

Good luck with that.

[anonymouse111335]

Troll more subtly. If you looked there my post was reffering to this being something parents could keep kids from getting to with parental controls, and if their kids can find out the password by putting in their name/birthday they're bad parents.

[Pedobear Rocks]

of porn being available to the younger generation.

Really.

PBR.

[Dark_king]

The game industry is getting to massive for the political figures to really do anything but complain.They bring in a fortune from the taxes so its not like the government would want to do anything to hurt our economy like by outlawing M games and they can't stop adult rated games.Sony stops it for now but sooner or later they will decide to allow it.Just wish we could get games the art status so they would be protected.

[skyblue14213]

I totally agree with sony, I am glad that they said no to porn.

[spektical]

i think some porn is quality stuff, i mean the porn industry is a billion dollar industry. I could see it was hard for SONY to pass up, but really adult games just dont work.

I think Larry was the only adult game that actually worked. (it was hilarious)

[zoks310]

Good for Sony, you can't sell porn on a video game console, their talks with Microsoft will fall apart also. They have the internet, i say that's enough for them. If PlayStation owners want porn they will go to the their PC's.

[DaBadGuy]

Anyone who thought this would be a brilliant marketing move for either side needs to get some meds. Seriously if Sony accepted this, how the hell would it be
marketed, in an E3 keynote where they invite Jenna Jameson onstage to blow Hideo Kojima.....heh, Metal Gear Solid, heh heh heh. Zone of the Enders is also suggestive.

[Panzerkanzler]

I wouldn't pay for porn, it's free on the internet anyway. Or better yet, people can get their partner in the mood and get it on!

[WeaseL]

Its easy, Open the browser goto youporn and your done, well after you've got a grip anyway

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

Wii's browser?

[joystick555]

all i need is xvideos and a sock

[Figboy]

but what's awesome is watching porn TOGETHER.

having a wife who is cool with me watching porn is the most kickass thing ever.

i shouldn't have to feel ashamed because i enjoy porn, or have to hide it from my wife. i'm not rushing to close the browser when she enters the room and i'm looking at it.

as for Sony not allowing porn on the video store, i can understand why they wouldn't. more than just adults use the PS3. my nieces and nephews have PS3's, and go online and play games, or browse the PlayStation store. i'm sure my sisters wouldn't like it if they stumbled across the adult section.

now, i am certainly one for parents taking responsibility in monitoring what their children watch/play, but come on, i live in America, and most of the parents in this country don't even seem to remember that they HAVE kids, let alone taking responsibility for them (yeah, i'm looking at YOU, mother who lets her 2 year old wander more than 10 feet away from you in a crowded mall).

most people would just use an adult section on the PlayStation Store to slap some more lawsuits on Sony.

besides, the PS3 has a web browser, and compatibility with large external and internal HDDs. if you REALLY want porn on your PS3, there are many ways in which you can get it to the console without it being officially sanctioned by Sony.

not EVERYTHING they do is bone-headed or a poor decision.

they are concerned about their image, and they are at the point now where their console will start to get into more underage hands now that the price is more palatable to the mainstream consumer, and the software library is as broad ranged as it is in terms of demographic.

how many parents would be turned off once the mainstream gets ahold of the "PornStation 3" stories and runs with them?
