Porn would Like to Get in on the PS3 action

Have a PS3? Well, if Vivid Entertainment, the world’s biggest company in the porn industry, gets their way then you may be seeing some adult films on the PSN for your viewing pleasure. Of course, Sony is a bit reluctant, but that didn’t stop them from allowing DDM.tv in Japan from launching - an on demand adult movie service brought to you in HD on the PS3 - last month
“They had made it clear in the past they were not interested,” (Steve) Hirsch (Founder of Vivid Entertainment) said. “Now that they have agreed to in some way allow adult films on the Japanese platform we are going to move forward and make a formal request.”
So what’s stopping Sony from bringing a similar service state wise? Well, I would assume they’d like to keep the freaky deeky stuff away from the children who are begging their parents to buy them a newly priced $299 slim PS3. And I don’t think telling their parentals that porn is available on the platform would be a selling point.
“Our point is pretty simple,” Hirsch told Kotaku. “As long as age verification is in place that (Sony) feels comfortable with we see no reason why adults shouldn’t be allowed to access adult movies on the Playstation 3.”
But then again, the PS3 hasn’t really been marketed to the younger crowd in the west - it’s always been geared toward adults. However, Vivid is also eyeing the 360 as well, but I find it hard to see MS saying yes to a deal like that when the console is really trying to appeal to the casual and younger markets at the moments.
