Playstation 3: Company Plans to Go the Porn Route

Playstation 3 is continuing to grow in popularity now that the excitement over Nintendo's WII system is starting to dwindle. Gaming enthusiasts are starting to discover that the PS3 is far more than a gaming system. The PS3 is an entertainment platform that allows you to play games, browse the internet, and purchase content through the Playstation store. Adult entertainment appears to be the next offering to be available on the PS3.

The Playstation store is a built in function on every PS3 that allows you to download free game demos, purchase games, movies, and other web content. The selection has been limited to family oriented items until now. PS3 users can now welcome Vivid Entertainment to the store, one of the largest porn companies to be exact.

You might think you read that wrong but chances are that you read the above statement exactly right. PS3 has appeared to reach an agreement that allows Vivid Entertainment to sell their porn video offerings to users of the PS3. Many parents might instantly cry foul at such a move. However, they should do a little bit of research before they do just that. All of the content will require a security code to be purchased. This security code can be set by parents and prevent their children from accessing such content. Such a function should help ease fears of most parents.

Vivid Entertainment is not the only company benefiting from this deal. All content sold through the Playstation 3 store will benefit Playstation quite a bit. They will earn a small piece of profit from each video sold over the system. Once downloaded, users will be able to keep the movie stored on their system. This can help individuals keep their porn collection a bit more private and not out in the open in the form of DVDS and magazines.

There is sure to be a large uproar from parents, the media, and advocates alike. They will say that the Playstation company is helping offer porn to young users. The end result will be the Playstation company having to constantly be on the offensive. The question arises if this is truly worth the little bit of extra profit that the company will receive from Vivid Entertainment. Time will only tell what lies in the future regarding this move. Stay tuned here for any future updates.
